Fender for watercraft

---

Abstract

---

A fender is provided that is uniquely shaped to facilitate attachment to, for example, the transom of a boat and/or to a swimming platform. To conform to the shape of the edge to which the fender is applied, a cutout is defined along the length of the fender. The jaws that are defined by the cutout can flex open as tension is applied to the fender and securely grip and accommodate the shape of the associated structure.
