Best stainless fender holders for Sea Ray 380?

[MonacoMike]

One other point to share for those evaluating this, some here have talked about fenders on the bow blocking their view on an express boat, and that is true, though it varies from boat to boat. The minimalistic Polyform fender holders do not obstruct your vision after you remove the fender, whereas the bigger tube baskets and definitely will.

I apologize that some are turned sideways. That being said, I’m not sure I like any of them...

The fenders themselves are made out of solid stainless steel. All hardware I received was marine grade stainless steel.

Is it the holders themselves or the polymer material that attaches them to the rails that has you afraid of them? If it is the polymer material you were worried about I would say one word, Glock. LOL

Good luck.

I have a couple of Glock pistols!! Haha. I was worried about the stainless steel. I’m afraid of them being bent or pulled on by one of the kids, rope getting around it, etc. I’m telling you, I think my crew is overly rough/careless. I have to engineer things fool proof around the house!!!

that reminds me of my uncle and cousins, great people but rougher than heck on anything, we used to laugh that you should worry if you loaned them your anvil. LOL!

If it’s a space thing have you looked at the inflatables?.... you could install a small compressor so your not goofing around inflating them.

just an example...there are lots of retail options and sizes

They really do not affect my vision that much, once the autopilot is set I generally go to sleep anyway.

I swear, I have that type of family!! Lol. I love them so much, but Lord they hard on stuff. It’s not that they don’t appreciate things, because they do. They try hard, but fall short on being gentle. Hahaha!! My wife is even laughing!!

This is my current set up with the fenders. I want them up and out of the way, but not stored away. If you will notice, I have to currently flip them over the rail.
