Re: Fenders
I have 2 of those so called rib fenders, I find them worse than useless as they are never at the right height for the various jetties I moor at. I reckon they will be ideal against a wall though. I have bought 4 fenders (2 sets of 2) where the rope can pass right through which enables me to have a fender on top of the tubes as well as over the side.

Re: Fenders
I have done this as I said to protect the side of the tube and top because I found on some jetties my boat would go just under the boardwalk and scratch. It was a bugger to find the fenders with a hole right through. Eventually found them on ebay I think. I'll try and find it and post the link.

Re: Fenders
The flat fenders are a pain because if you set them low enough to protect the side, there is little or no protection on top. Set to high and the side is exposed. I had thought about making fresh holes and using them vertically but then decided I like the dual fender idea.

Re: Fenders
Agreed regarding flat fenders, but mine are nor flat but curved, which can easily be adapted to the tubes. I've choosed the one with big size.Roy54 wrote: ↑05 Jun 2020, 15:19The flat fenders are a pain because if you set them low enough to protect the side, there is little or no protection on top.

Re: Fenders
If anyone is interested they are from "The Candlery Barge" on ebay and are called Thru line fenders.

Re: Fenders
They certainly will once they were bought mainly due to what I've wrote here: viewtopic.php?f=6&p=43718#p43718
Thanks for your pics
