Abstract
A harness for securing a fender to a boat, particularly a competition ski boat, is disclosed which includes an elongated strap member having at least two shorter strap members transversely disposed across one end of the elongated member to retain the boat fender and means for forming a loop from the opposite end of the elongated member for attaching the harness to a ski pylon or other hardware affixed to the floor of the boat. The length of the elongated member can be adjusted so that when the boat fender is suspended over the side of the boat the fender remains stationary along the side of the boat in a position which is substantially perpendicular to the surface of the water.
