    Best boat bumpers?

    I’m getting 920 in a month or so and I’m looking for the best bumpers to keep dock rash off the boat, please offer some suggestions. Also are the airhead mooring ropes any good? Is 5ft the best length? Thanks.

    Just watched the video on the DockStix website. Based on their suggested use of securing even or below the rub rail, it looks like the the metal tube would rub on the gelcoat if there was any waves? I think I'll just stick with my rubber bumpers and rope.

    I had the exact same thought.

    I use the taylormade low freeboard bumpers. They work great just take up a little space.
