Navigating the waters of the Sunshine State, from serene bays to bustling marinas, demands equipment that can withstand the extreme elements Florida presents while enhancing the boating experience with style and functionality.
The most critical moment that helps make sure your boat remains safe and undamaged is when you dock and board your vessel. Birdsall Marine's innovative solution, the Fender Cleat - Straight, offers a seamless way to achieve this. Here's how this product revolutionizes fender placement for optimal protection and convenience.
Designed to seamlessly integrate with your boat's existing rod holders, Birdsall Marine Design, a trusted name among boating enthusiasts, offers the Fender Cleat - Straight. These cleats significantly simplify the process of achieving optimal fender placement to ensure safe and easy docking. Whether you're rafting up for a day of leisure or securing your vessel to a dock, Birdsall's Fender Cleat's ensures that your boating adventures in Florida are both safe and hassle-free.
But why exactly are boat fenders so vital?
Fenders play a vital role in protecting your vessel from scratches, dents, and damage while moored or docked alongside other boats. Properly placed fenders absorb impacts and minimize the wear on your boat's surface. The Birdsall Fender Cleats allow you to utilize your existing rod holders as fender hangers. These rod holders are typically positioned ideally for fender placement when rafting or tying up, making this a convenient and effective solution.
Key Benefits of Boat Fender Cleats:
Birdsall Marine is proud to provide South Florida captains with quality boat parts that look good as well as protect your investment. We offer straight and bent boat cleat options to ensure a perfect fit for your vessel. Our fenders act as a buffer between your boat and the harsh realities of piers, docks, and other vessels. With the constant threat of impacts that can scar your boat's hull, fenders can be the difference between an uneventful docking and costly repairs.
It's not just about preventing scuffs and dents; it's about the confidence of knowing your boat is protected in any situation that the docks might present. The Birdsall Fender Cleat - Straight and Bent symbolizes the blend of form and function, providing a stress-free solution to one of boating's most common headaches.
Since 1979, Birdsall Marine Design has been the professional boaters and captains' choice for premium, high-quality, American-made boat parts and marine accessories.

Birdsall Marine Design offers a diverse range of boat accessories. Our boat products are designed and built at our shop in South Florida using only the highest-quality, American-sourced materials.
There is much debate on the subject, but the prime contenders for the first boats to commercially incorporate the innovation seem to be Boston Whaler in 1963, & the Aquasport 222 in 1964. The beauty of the concept came from the fact that the operator could stand & drive from the center of the boat, while enjoying the handy walk-around room provided.
It took a few years, but center consoles eventually became so popular that they generated a whole new genre in the boating business. Console mounted T-tops were the next innovation inspired by the design, allowing for more fishing room without the restrictions of gunwhale mounted legs used for Bimini and other full coverage designs. Over time, hull sizes grew and grew, until they included the 40-plus foot giants available today. Actually, Birdsall Marine Design was started in 1979 specifically for the manufacturing of high quality aluminum T-tops for center console boats. We were one of the very first companies to do so, and have been in the game for a long time now!
Over the years, as T-tops sizes increased relative to the sizes of the boats that they were attached to, the importance of the structural integrity of center consoles themselves became more and more apparent. The strength and durability, not to mention operator and passenger safety, provided by proper center console design and construction were and remain important. The failure of some boat manufacturers to recognize this fact led us to start manufacturing our own line of replacement center consoles in various sizes. The strength of helm, control, and grab handle mountings are very important – even without the consideration of a T-top! Rather than concentrate on price point engineering, Birdsall Marine Design chose to produce the most reasonable compromise that included proper structural integrity. That is why our consoles include high quality waterproof foam cored sides and control mounting surfaces, along with biaxial fiberglass reinforcements – features that cheap units ignore in order to lower their costs.
We have kept up with the evolution of screen mounting sizes and other features that modern equipment requires. Our designs also provide efficient dimensional proportions that all of our many years of experience have proven to allow for additional room in many different sized vessels, both for OEM and replacement applications. Check out our various models to determine if we can provide solutions that add both safety and value to your boat.

When it comes to boat supplies, a step box is always a good addition to your boat. A step box provides a solid fiberglass storage space while also featuring a non-skid surface to help ensure safe boarding and off-boarding from your boat.
Step boxes are great gifts for that captain in your life that wants to maximize their time on the water. The additional storage space provides a water tight space for valuables, life jackets, fishing equipment, snorkeling gear, personal belongings, or anything that you want to bring on the water and keep safe.
The beautiful and stylish fiberglass step boxes are deluxe contoured while featuring a raised feed base to allow water to flow through below it. They are finished with beautiful high Gelcoat and made with premium design and quality to ensure they last as long as your boat.
All Birdsall Marine Step Boxes are made locally in our fiberglass studio to ensure the highest premium quality and durability that Birdsall has become known for. The Palm Beaches and South Florida have been able to trust our shop and product since 1979 and in our online store and showroom we are expanding our product selection weekly.
Order your new step box today to help ensure not just safe entry and exit from your vessel, but more space to store what matters most, while making the most out of your time on the water.

We love working with our clients while providing the highest quality materials, marine upholstery, and fabrication services to give your boat new life for the long haul. One of our clients reached out to help them customize a fully-restored 17’ center console pink Boston Whaler dubbed the “Pink Barbie”.
For this in-house project, we manufactured and installed the “Birdsall 32” Mini Rocket Launcher” - our own special, customized version of what is commonly known as a “Leaning Post” - featuring Smoothe White Custom Upholstery with Pink Piping, a Folding Backrest, our Underseat Storage Tray, and an Anodized Pipe. We can guarantee the quality and durability of our products because we design them ourselves with nearly all our products manufactured, sewn, and fabricated and installed in our local shop.

At Birdsall Marine Design, quality is job one. This is not an advertising slogan, but rather a company-wide imperative. A lot of our employees have been part of our team for many years. When new employees are hired, they are rigorously trained to uphold our tradition of high standards.
The selection of production materials is not dictated by price, but rather by engineering properties, with the prime consideration being durability in the demanding marine environment. The harsh reality of this environment includes corrosive, electrolytic, and radiant energy concerns. This policy extends to absolutely every component utilized in our products. For example, on our anodized products we only use highly polished clear anodized pipe. Each length of pipe goes through a quality control inspection. Any questionable material is rejected before it even gets on the rack. Polished anodized aluminum presents a TIG welding challenge. Our highly talented welders use their many years of experience to insure the quality of each weld. Upon the completion of such welding projects, detail men hand paint every weld with aluminum paint to protect them from the elements. We outsource our powder coating to a long established specialty company that follows our same protocols and standards.
Likewise, our fiberglass components are fabricated by craftsmen in the highest quality molds using materials expressly engineered for the specific application, with cost being of minor consideration. No wood is used in our products. All cores are no-rot polymer based. Once again, strength and quality are our first concerns. This policy extends throughout our product line to every department. Our canvas shop uses only premium materials like Weblon, WeatherMax, and Sunbrella. All threads are the highest quality, environment-proof synthetics. Our upholstery bases are rot-proof aerated PVC. All upholstery foams are closed cell, which do not soak up water. Our rigging department utilizes only tinned wire, premium marine quality terminal ends, the highest spec heat shrink tubing, and premium electrical components. Marine stainless steel fasteners, over-sized thick stainless fender washers, stainless aircraft style lock nuts – the list goes on and on to include every component that we use.
There are two other factors that are included in our quest for the highest quality control possible. The first is also a big part of the innovations that we’ve produced over the years: carefully listening to our customers! We have a highly symbiotic relationship with our customers, both OEM and private, often lasting for decades. We try our best to combine our considerable experience in the marine market place with their specific needs. A wonderful result is often innovation. The remaining factor is our belief that we, as a business, are compelled to treat each project as if it was for our own boats. Quality is definitely job one!
