Fendering Tips:

Always hang fenders so they just touch the surface of the water. Tie them off on something solid and as low as possible on your boat. A stanchion base or deck cleat along the rail is best. This prevents the fenders from swinging in a wide arc and winding up on top of the dock, rather than between your hull and the dock where they belong. Avoid hanging fenders from lifelines as they put 100 much stress on the lifelines themselves. This is especially true if there is a strong wave or wake action.

Use at least three fenders when docking. One at maximum beam, one each fore and aft.
When rafting, the best fendering technique is to have the fenders in place on the boat already moored or at anchor. Group three standard fenders rather close to maximum beam, then position two round A Series or LD Series buoys fore and aft to provide greater protection from boats tossing into each other.
