Don't throw out your fenders

[Hydrotherapy7]

I had a Taylor fender that was leaking from the valve. I called Taylor and they sent me new valves. Simple to replace. Pull the old valve with a long nose plier and push the new one in.

Good advice. Cant say I ever kept a boat long enough for the fenders to go bad. Gave them with the boat.

I havent tried it yet but I was told by a seasoned boater that acetone cleans the fenders up.

Put a dab of silicone grease on the new valve before you pop it in and it'll prevent it from leaking between the valve and fender.

My now retired WM manager used to give me new fenders. Doubt any will do that now, even two years ago other managers were not helpful in this. My guy even called another manager and told him to do it for a CSR member at my request…
