Fender storage

[BUDMAN]

I have four large fenders that I want to store under the engine hatch. I’m looking for ideas on what to do. How’s everyone else have theirs stored. I have a Hallett 255 with plenty of room but looking to do something removable for when the boat needs serviced.

Got billet mounts?

Goto Nordic / Hallett and they can whip you up some fiberglass fender holders. They are pretty standard on all their new boats.

DIY Fender Holders...Cheap

Inmates, Thought I'd share my latest simple project for "Boyz on a Budget" Let me first say, Yes.... I'm easily impressed with myself. Especially when my garage moto is "If it ain't broke it's cause I haven't tried to fix it yet" Saw some trick fiberglass fender holders in the engine...

Just looked them up. That's a hard NO! ChaChing$$$

Nordic also builds with that weird plastic wood stuff and it’s awesome and much cheaper than glass or billet.

A couple 2x2's, some 1/2 plywood, stainless screws, and marine carpet. You can basically build a 4 legged table, and cut holes big enough for the fenders , then cover it with carpet like you would a bunk on the trailer. Not super expensive, and you can make the legs as long as you need to depending on flooring of your boat. One of my projects for this season if I keep the boat.

Have you not heard, fenders are overrated.
Especially this year, since the government is basically saying no rafting / tie ups

I have a milk crate on one side of the engine compartment to hold my fenders.

Slightly off topic

do the outer fabric covers work? Is it worth it to get them

 

[getreal]

Yes and Yes

A lot of the jokers I see just leave them tied on the cleats all day. They just flop around in the wind.

Always wondered the same. What is the difference with/without the covers. Just figured it was to make custom. To me it looked like another thing to dry or replace after a few years. Curious-what are the benefits?

I tied up to my friend one time with uncovered fenders- the rubbing of the fender actually scratched/hazed his paint. A cover is just a little easier on the paint.

We’ve called that out as “Bumper Patrol !” since I was a kid. Dad warned us to always steer clear of them.

Wait a minute, weren't you the one that told me not to complain about the cost of tires when I had to replace them on the DCB trailer...lol

Paul, did you ever design a fender storage situation for the 255? I need to do the same. Right now ours are just piled in the ski locker

I think it was @ChrisV
Who made some that mount on the under side of the ski locker lid for his boat?
Was a cool idea.
