The Rockville RQA is a quick-release boat fender clips designed for boaters looking to simplify fender deployment and management. These clips serve as a functional alternative to traditional knot-tying, providing a mechanical solution for securing bumpers to a vessel while eliminating the time and frustration associated with wet rope handling.

Constructed from 316-grade stainless steel, these clips are engineered specifically for marine environments where corrosion resistance is essential. The 1.2-inch jaw opening allows for attachment to standard rails and most boat cleats, accommodating the majority of recreational and commercial vessel configurations. A rubberized PE coating is applied to the clip surface to maintain the integrity of the boat's finish and prevent abrasions to gel coat, painted surfaces, and polished rails.

Practical Applications:

Suitable for recreational and professional maritime use, the RQA allows for rapid repositioning of fenders during docking, rafting, or lock navigation. The one-handed operation enables boaters to adjust fender height while simultaneously managing dock lines or controlling the helm. This is particularly valuable when docking solo or in challenging conditions such as strong currents, wind, or crowded marinas where quick adjustments are necessary.

Versatile Rope Compatibility:

The design accommodates a variety of rope sizes from 3/8 inch to 5/8 inch, providing a secure hold under standard docking conditions. The heavy-duty locking mechanism maintains tension on the rope without slipping, even when fenders are subjected to wave action or contact with dock structures.

Installation and Use:

Simply attach the clip to your boat's rail, cleat, or hook, thread your fender rope through the mechanism, and adjust to the desired height. The quick-release function allows you to remove fenders in seconds when departing, streamlining your pre-departure routine.
