Water craft and dock protector assembly

A protector assembly to be attached to a dock along a side area of the dock for safe operation of a water craft in water adjacent the dock, said assembly comprising:

• horizontal top and bottom members adapted to be placed parallel to the side area of the dock so that said top member is adapted to be rotatably attached to the dock and said bottom member is generally positioned below a surface of the water;
• a plurality of spaced apart vertical members each affixed at a top end to said horizontal top member and at a bottom end to said horizontal bottom member to generally form a protective fence;
• a tubular roller member placed around each one of said vertical members to generally extend between said horizontal top and bottom members so that said roller members freely rotate about said vertical members when forced to turn by making contact with the water craft;
• and
• a plurality of top support brackets for pivotally attaching said horizontal top member to the side area of the dock such that said fence can be rotated upward about the horizontal top member and relative to the dock for cleaning and repairing the fence as well as removal of debris.
