fenders and lines

they're bumpers when attached to a dock, fenders when they're on a boat

You guys have waaayy too much time on your hands...

I think you throw the dog a bone!

Fenders, unless you hang unrully children over the side, then they are bumpers.

I call 'em fenders and lines but I don't hold it against anyone who calls 'em sumpin' else...

It's all good as long as the boat gets tied up properly!!!!

No, my wife is used to fend off the dock, the fenders are there in case she screws up

Bumpers sound to weekend warrior-ish.

My wife calls them "those white thingies"


Oh gawd , the embassasment

C.A.D.'s .....Contact Avoidance Devices

In the past they were solid foam....but now use air entrapment technology...... at a substantial increase in price. However C.C.A.E.'s (Certified Contact Avoidance Experts) and advertising agencies have convinced the marketplace that the "new" technology actually adds three to five MPH to most hulls.

If the boat is underway and the "FENDERS" are still hanging over the side they are referred to as tampons.
