    What boat fenders are you guys using?

    Have a 195TXW. I haven’t had a chance to pull measurements when it’s in the water to check height down to water line. Already have some bungee style tie offs just need to pick these up. Will be tying them off to the boat not the dock.

    when I used them I just used the cheap white ones found at the local big store. Let them hang off the cleats.

    I use contour fenders like these from Academy or BassPro. Mine are black not white. https://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/mar...dCatid=4068058

    I have some plastic ones that suction cup on (can't remember the name) and some pillow ones. The rear of my boat rides real low in the water and the pillow ones don't work too good back there.

    These are what I have. They gave me a couple of them when I bought my new boat work fine for my needs.

    When you get those pretty white fenders dirty,and
    no cleaner on planet earth will make them white again.
    This is the quick and simple trick I use. Lacquer thinner
    on a towel. Bright white and no harm to the bumper.
