Boat Fenders

[tford05]

Hi,
I have a Bayliner 175, which I have 2 fender for as they take up a lot of space for a small boat.
But, I have an issue with where to put these, as where the boat is mainly stored(on a pontoon) these two fenders are fine, as the pontoon is the same height as the boat.
But there is a jetty where I frequently pick family up, which is higher than the boat, so I always have to stay on and make sure that the window of the boat doesn't collide with the jetty.
What should I do in this situation, the fender on the bow is useless, so this could be moved elsewhere.

You can never have too many fenders. Get enough so that you can have them wherever they are needed.

Agree, spot mine

When you need your boat to stand away from a jetty or a wall, as I learned recently, a large round fender is your friend. Of course this shape is even more challenging to stow. I use fender baskets outside the rails to store fenders, but that’s on a sailing boat with a pushpit.

I got some of these…really good and stow easily

I agree with liftyk, to avoid your windows being struck you need a larger diameter fender.
Round ones are really good but what do you do with them under way ?
