Fender hanger for waketower

[firecap797]

Anyone use an adjustable fender hanger from the waketower? I picked up the TaylorMade ones and they are too small to go around the diameter of the tower for a 2016 242 L/S.

Use these. Been using on all my boats for years. Work great and free up your cleats

I saw these on display at the NYC Boat show earlier this year. Too expensive at the boat show however, so I bought them on Amazon. They work great!

The Taylor Made fit on my tower, but just barely. I'm not suprised they wont fit the 242 towers. I've use the Fendergrip product @Zonie listed and they work pretty well. Price is right too!

You might want to also grab a set of these too. They are really cheap and come in handy.

I found the Danik Mini Hooks to work great. I just wrap the line around the tower and hook it back to the line. Easy to adjust for different docks.

I usually just tie off a fender to my lower base of the tower for a rear fender and then use the Fender Tender II to clip on my windshield coping for mid-ship fender placement.

One day I'd like to have these. They are pricey but seem so convenient to use!

I was using this until someone dropped it in the ocean....

Works great....just be sure you run the line the correct way through it...or suffer my consequences! LOL (a relative installed it wrong)

Ordered two this weekend on Amazon.

Thanks!

I just make my kid practice his boating knots around the tower while I'm parking or ready to come in to dock.
Materials needed:
- Kid
- Fender with line

Be careful with hanging fenders off your tower if you're in a tight slip...

I tied some loops into my fender whips and hung them off my tower for the first two weeks the boat was in the slip this summer. Note that my lake slip is 10' wide. When I came back to the boat about two weeks later, the fenders had put small stretch marks & wrinkles into the decals on both sides of the boat. They are small, but I know they are there.

Now, while in the slip, I just tie one fender off of the mid-ship cleat. If I'm in a space with more room, I will still hang a fender off the tower to protect the stern a bit.
