Why won't MAVEN work on my Barletta pontoon boat? Unfortunately, MAVEN is not compatible with Barletta brand pontoon boats because of the wider top rails. While MAVEN offers compatibility with a wide range of pontoon boat designs, including those with standard 1 1/4" top rails and rub rail gaps, we regret that (at this time) it cannot be seamlessly hung on Barletta brand pontoon boats due to this specific design differences.
Is MAVEN designed to be attached while the boat is in motion? No. MAVEN Pontoon Fenders (like other fenders) are not designed to be attached while the boat is in motion. Many pontoon owners are accustomed to keeping their fenders permanently attached, letting them dangle over the edge, and flopping them in and out of the boat. At MISSION, we’ve never liked this look on our own toons—but it’s understandable because constantly adjusting fenders to the proper height is a struggle.
This is why we created MAVEN—to eliminate the hassle and dramatically speed up fender deployment. We engineered MAVEN for lightning-quick deployment. Applying and reapplying the fender takes just a few seconds. With this newfound efficiency, it’s now easy to remove the fenders and store them in a compartment while the boat is in motion.
Where does MAVEN stow? When not in use, MAVEN fits easily in most seat compartments.
