Solution for ready to deploy boat bumpers?

[Jdz1]

So I get annoyed pulling up to a dock and having to first yank my bumpers out of a hatch and fasten them up, I have a FSH195 and was thinking if they could be tucked somewhat under the side rail and already tied and be able to flip them overboard. Of course I don't want it to look hideous, want them somewhat tucked and not in the way. Haven't found any kind of good bumper holder that would work. Any ideas or solutions out there? Thanks!

Check those out. Requires drilling a hole in the boat, but once you have the fenders set at the right height, just grab from storage, clip in place, dock.

I would only do something like this if I was visiting the same dock, every time, and knew the height to set them at ahead of time. Otherwise, you're right back to tying a new height every time, and you haven't saved much time over a traditional cleat.

Thanks I do like those quick connects. For me its more of figuring a way to store them nicely along the sidewall outside of storage. The FSH sidewalls are recessed so I think it could be done so that they aren't in the way.

Ah, yea I misunderstood. I've got nothing.

Those fender hangers are fantastic, we put them on our 242, and have them on our new CC as well. Can't help with storage, but when we know we'll be docking soon we just hang the fenders inside, and then flip them out on approach.

We don't have any creative ways to quickly attach/detach fender lines, we use a proven routine of when approaching/entering the no wake zone, other members on-board set the fender lines to the appropriate cleat prior to docking.
There's no free rides for anyone, we each pitch in to make the outing enjoyable, and quite possibly pickup some new ideas/methods along the the way for ease/speed of the needs for the trip.
Nothing like having/trying to do it all by yourself (unless boating solo), making it more chaotic tripping over others just sitting on their laurels.
IDK, being to critical ? ? ?

Agree with you, I boat/fish solo quite a bit and that is when something like this would be handy.
