MISSION SENTRY 2.0 Boat Fenders
Contoured, closed-cell foam fenders intended to protect modern low-profile hulls during docking, launching and rafting.
- Two fenders with built-in straps
- LockCAM height adjustment
- 22 × 9 × 5.5 inches each
- Pass-through opening preserves cleat access
Quick verdict
Best fit: owners of modern low-profile runabouts, tow boats or fishing boats who want a compact fender that can cover the area above and below the rub rail. Look elsewhere: if you need permanent-mooring protection, want to leave fenders deployed underway, or have a hull whose shape or attachment points do not match the contoured design.
The SENTRY’s strongest idea is not simply its foam construction—it is the combination of a hull-hugging profile and an integrated, quickly adjustable strap. That can reduce the usual line-and-cylinder shuffle at a dock, but only when the shape meets the part of your hull that actually needs protection.
Who it is for
MISSION says SENTRY is designed around modern low-profile boats, including runabouts, tow boats and fishing boats. Its contoured shape is meant to protect above and below the rub rail, where a conventional cylindrical fender may roll away from the contact point.
Good candidate
- Modern, relatively low-profile hull
- Usable cleat, rail or piling attachment point
- Day docking, fuel stops, launches or rafting
- Limited storage space for bulky cylinders
Confirm before buying
- High-sided or strongly flared hull
- Pontoon-specific protection needs
- Long-term or unattended mooring
- Attachment points far from the contact zone
LockCAM setup
The built-in flat strap runs through MISSION’s LockCAM mechanism. Press the lever, move the strap to set the fender height, then release it to lock. The fender can attach at a cleat, handrail or suitable dock piling. A pass-through opening is designed to leave room for a dock line at the cleat.

Strengths and tradeoffs
What stands out
- Fast height adjustment: the integrated LockCAM strap avoids tying and retying a separate fender line.
- Hull-focused shape: the contoured body is intended to stay against the hull and span the rub rail area.
- Compact format: a flat foam form may stow more neatly than inflated cylindrical fenders.
- Cleat access: the pass-through opening helps keep the attachment point usable for a dock line.
Important limitations
- Fit is boat-specific: the shape is an advantage only if it lands on the actual contact zone.
- Not underway gear: store the fenders before operating the boat.
- Not a permanent-mooring solution: longer, unattended exposure calls for a setup designed for those loads and conditions.
- Retail listing variations: verify the exact model, color and package before checkout.
Use and care
- Inspect the fender, strap, LockCAM and attachment point before use.
- Adjust the body to cover the expected dock-contact height.
- Use enough fenders for the boat’s size and local conditions; two pieces are not automatically sufficient for every situation.
- Retrieve and stow the fenders before getting underway.
- Rinse off salt or grime and let the fenders dry before closed storage.
