    Are these really "automatic" (they deploy themselves when approaching a dock or another boat), or are they just powered?

      They will remind you to lift when you accelerate. They automatically deploy to the correct height (dock level or rub rail level) so you don't need to set line length each time. At this point they do not deploy fully automatically when you reach a dock. We release software upgrades from time to time and we will probably include such option in a future release. You can find full details at AutomaticFender.com . Thanks, Sam

    Not high tech. You should have installed video cameras there.)))

      @@automaticboatfender No kidding, you have a great device idea! I would make everything a little more compact by placing the electronics and mechanics in the wing holder. And the fender holder itself would be made to rotate 45 degrees at the beginning of the fender descent. This way, there would be a better chance of not putting the fender on the deck with the wind. But your device idea is great. I am really like you products.

      @@Serhiy34 Thank you for the compliments! We love this product, we originally built it for our cruiser.... The Automatic Fender, is very small. Especially when you see it near the boat fender, it is very small! In the beginning we had a rotating fender holder but we cancelled it. As the front clamp is attached to the stanchion in 45 degrees it pushes the fender out. Even if it is very windy the fender is pushed out. We started with a rotation but found out that it is not needed, so we cancelled it and reduced the price :):):):):) Thanks again for your wonderful engineering comment! We highly appreciate it. As you can imagine boating is our passion!

      @@automaticboatfender I speak four languages, but I just started learning English. Perhaps, knowing the language poorly, I expressed myself incorrectly. I can build a structure for you in solidworks and save it as a .step file, so that you can open it in your CAD. Don't think about me wrong. I really don't need anything from you. I just really liked your idea and I would be happy to suggest how to improve it. I am an engineer and have always been fascinated by ideas like yours. If you don't mind, I could do it next weekend.

      @@Serhiy34 You speak more languages than I do, 4 languages is VERY IMPRESSIVE. I am an engineer as well:):) My wife was complaining about deploying the fenders so I designed a solution.... I would love to get your idea, I always like to brainstorm. Before working on a new idea, if you have the time, please look at a video called "lab tour" in our channel. It has our first generation product with the 45 degrees movement in it. Our first version product had 2 motors. I would love to get your ideas, always! Thanks, Sam

    If you can’t deploy a fender, you mite need to stay home!

      If you can't spell "might" properly, you might need to go back to school.
