On vacation a couple weeks ago, we were boating and using fenders everyday. Man, we love these for docks, docking against pontoons and other lower boats. For rafting with other 24' Yamaha's, my mount points are just a bit too low... though, I'm not sure how I could have moved them up any. Our rubrails are so high out of the water, that I think it still works best to hang a single fender off the windshield to complement the front and rear fenders.
@seanmclean Have you had any trouble with yours? 3 of my 4 fender locks have now broke. There is a rubber sleeve on the end of the pin... I've lost 3 of those. Shortly after that, the little clip that holds the spring taut has fallen off. Once that happens, the pin comes out from it's outer sleeve and the 2 little ball bearings that hold it locked in place get lost.
I sent Taco a message and they told me that they are under warranty. I just need to fill out a form and send them some info, I guess. I'll try to get that done this week. But, man, talk about frustrating... especially after the cost, but also after drilling 4 holes in the boat. Just curious if you or anyone else has had a tough time with these falling a part.
