I always call them bumpers... and always feel like an idiot when someone reminds me they're called fenders

I use the same answer in the boat for "bumpers" |
But, even the fleece covered fenders that get salt water on them will scratch a boat. I guess it's the dried salt that is doing the scratching.

i use nylon covers on my bumpers that match the boats paint color. only problem with the vinyl is that they don't wear very well; get a lot of pulls on them. I'll be trying fleece covers for this season. Check out this website for fleece covers-www.mecoastmarine.com

My boat is painted and I do not use covers on bumpers. I only use my bumpers keeping them clean. I found the covers attract splinters and dirt that scratch.
Just my $0.02 |
I have a painted boat and use the fleece covers per someone's recomendation. I think they help to avoid scratches, but if they rub up against something like a splintered piling or some cruddy seaweed, they will probably cause more damage then they prevent! I really have to keep an eye on them.

x2 for cape hatteras covers. Just keep them clean. I carry 6 fenders with covers and don't allow anyone to raft unless my fenders are used. I've buffed scratches from other peoples fenders too many times.

Thanks for posting the link on the fleece covers. Think I need to get a few too..
