bumpers or fenders
 

Someone else sugested it... Ill post it... What do you call them?

Fenders
 

Bumpers are on a car, Fenders are on a Boat!! I think they are used to "Fend off the dock" not "Bump off the Dock"

What do you use to tie your boat to the dock ???? Ropes or Lines???? I would have to say " Lines"

Philip

I think I have way too much Idle time on my hands today,

BTW T2x has a very amusing little story about
"Hey Thro me the Rope"

Please AX him to Splaine:D :D

Fenders and Lines!

Re: Fenders
 

Arent fenders on cars too? :p

Philip... good one.. thats the next pole!

And oh ya...Chain is for pulling your chevy out of the mud hole when it's stuck. Rhode is on your anchor.

You guys down south call every carbonated drink a "Coke". Bumpers are protection for your fenders!

Ok, here is proof I have too much Idle time today
 

Do you have a "Outdrive" or a "Gearcase" on your Sterndrive powered boat???????:D

everyone,
 

PM T2x, and ask him to go over the "Thro me the rope" story

Philip

fenders and lines

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

It's Bumpers and Ropes !!!
 

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

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... :D

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

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

Bumpers sound to weekend warrior-ish.

My wife calls them "those white thingies":rolleyes:


Oh gawd , the embassasment:D

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.

They are called rubber thingies, if they are over the side they are bouncie rubber thingies, (once called this by a relitive on board for the !st time)...

AND 5-8 MPH ON STEP HULLS:D

Um, what does that make your boat?

I love these important threads!

I thought most of them were from winter boredom, but the sun is out and here we are still posting!

Gotta love OSO!

Fender's if the person that I am telling to get them is a boater, fender- bumper-big black thing right f-ing there if they are an FNG.

Bumpers

Cars AND trailers have fenders too.


Years ago I called my local West Marine and ordered a trailer fender. I went in days after it was supposed to arrive to pick it up, and the lady went to the back and was back there for a long time. She finally came out and said it didn't come in. I was furious and said WHAT! I ordered it a week ago and it to held for me with my name in this store. She said I'm sorry sir, but I didn't see a fender with your name on it, can you show me in the catalog which one you ordered? When I got to the trailer section, she said ohh, a trailer fender.....She said I moved a trailer fender off the shelf looking for your fender.......



From then on, I called them bumpers.:D

MINE are Black and round I got them at the local tire store
sitting behind the building, the guys said take as many as you want, they work great cost Nothing
:D

Fenders without a doubt. Troutly, I am sure you have seen cases when someone used a fender as a bumper:D (on an auto....car....vehicle).:D PS, why does no one use this symble :o It looks good to me:D

Fenders are for the boat... Bumpers are for drinking BEER (40's for you young un's):D :D :D

Here are some colored bumpers!
