Abstract
A fender includes an inflatable body that is partially filled with water, a port sized to receive the water into the body and a plug adapted to seal the port. The partially filed fender floats in the water with a lower portion extending and remaining below the water even during wave action, leaving the bottom portion of the fender to protect a portion of a floating object that extends below the waterline.
