This invention discloses a system to protect bow loading small craft from floating mines. The invention is characterized by a rake like fender held in front of the craft with vertically disposed mine engaging members depending downwardly into the water from a horizontal member. The fender is held to the front of the craft by a ball hitch and guy wires in such a manner that the action of the bow ramp is unobstructed. Further, the unit may be quickly removed from the craft to permit normal on and off loading of cargo.
