|
|
Hey all, we just moved to a new marina this year and the pier is concrete. A habit I've picked up from my day-job aboard aluminum workboats is to clutch in while nosed up to the pier/barge/whatever to give me more control, especially when single-handing. This doesn't work so good with my 22' cruiser and a concrete pier. 😬 And I've already left a few gouges in my gelcoat!
Does anybody have recommendations for a good bow-fender that fits the 22's shape? I have a 2000 if that makes a difference. _________________ Cheers,

I'll be curious to see these responses. Is there some way to mount it to the concrete? These might work:

Any suggestions on how to add some level of protection on a non-floating slip with finger piers and 3' tide variations? |

There are all sorts of bumpers, pads, etc. that can be added to docks for scuff protection. What can be used will depend on the exact configuration of the dock structure and how your boat fits against it. |
