In Bilge Fender Holders??

Does anyone know where to get those fender holders that are mounted in the bilge, and you just slide the fender in when there not in use? I have seen them on some boats and would be interested in adding some to my boat.

Most are custom made out of Star board or something similar,Get a big hole saw or jig saw and cut them out. The boat builder may have a template for your boat if they did them on your style boat before but I doubt it.

I had them in my hustler, I would not recommend them, mine broke into little pieces from running the boat hard. and it is a pain to work on the motor with those in there.

West marine has some Stainless steel ones that you can mount where ever you want. It's like a heavy wire basket. When they are in your way, you simply lift the holder out of it's braket to remove.

I saw some in a new Cig at the Chicago boat show that looked like they were made from large PVC pipe.

I was going to take a fender to Menards a see what it fit in.

JC, 2 fenders? thats all you carry on a 42 tiger?

Johnny, check out these from overtons.
Much easier to store than round fenders.

JC....thanks for the offer on those holders they look real good but I don't think I have the room in my bilge for those...

Storm....I have seen those before, and might give them a try but first i will head over to West Marine to check out the removable one..

Thanx guys for the ideas....
