Aluminum Fender Brace

The JOES Racing Products Aluminum Fender Brace (Part No. 12055) is an adjustable docking and mooring solution designed to protect vessel hulls from impact damage during tie-ups and close-quarters maneuvering. Built from lightweight aluminum construction, this fender brace extends to 29.5 inches and provides a rigid mounting point for standard fender systems, eliminating the slack and misalignment problems that plague rope-only rigging.

Measuring 24.7 inches in its base length and weighing just 0.42 pounds, the aluminum construction resists saltwater corrosion while remaining compact enough to stow on smaller vessels. The adjustable design accommodates varying fender sizes and dock configurations, allowing operators to position fenders at precise distances from the hull. This rigid bracing prevents fenders from sliding or rotating during docking operations—a critical factor when approaching fuel docks, marinas, or other boats in close quarters where even minor contact can cause gelcoat damage or scuffing.

Both weekend boaters and commercial fishing operators benefit from the fender brace's simplicity and reliability. Liveaboard cruisers and charter captains appreciate the corrosion resistance and durability when the system is left deployed in saltwater environments for extended periods. Weekend fishermen favor the quick setup and adjustment capability when moving between shallow-water anchoring spots and working docks. The aluminum fender brace pairs with standard fender systems already in inventory, making it an efficient upgrade that requires no specialized rigging knowledge to install.
