[Rhodes22-list] fender adjustment?

[daysails at aol.com]

I use plastic hooks attached to the hand rail.  When leaving the dock I pull the fenders aboard and let them hang in the cabin.  On returning to the dock I toss them "overboard" and they at the same right height.  This works well when returning to your home dock each time.  They can be adjusted on the hooks.  Have had them for four years with out any breakage.  Joe Riley, Lake Hartwell.

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] fender adjustment?


When putting fenders over the side, around a dock, etc...any suggestions on not 
just how best to keep them where you want them, but being able to adjust them up 
or down as needed?  I know there are some products that attach to the railings 
that claim to be adjustable...one I've seen is hard plastic and mounts, I 
assume, similar to say a rod holder, and then there are the cloth ones that 
strap around the railings.  This of course would be for the traditional style 
fenders.  I know some people have used ones with the curved top that curves 
slightly over the side of the boat, and thus ostensibly keeps it in place. Of 
course it depends on how high or low the pier is relative to your boat as to 
where a fender may be needed, but I usually need it at the outermost portion of 
the boat/"rub rail" area.
