An Inflatable Fender That Stays Put

Easystow Inflatable Fenders

Well, the wind in Southern Florida has been relentless and seemingly never ending this winter. After bouncing off the post in our fixed dock aligned against one post, I solved the problem. We couldn't get any fender to fit properly and stay there.

I pulled out my EasyStow Inflatable Fender. We happen to have the 44 Inch long, 18 inch around standard model. A few quick pumps from their inflation pump and we were ready to hang it lengthwise between rail stanchions.

I am continually amazed at how simple yet tough these fenders are. I did steal a couple of pillow sheets and sacrifice them to keep the "squeaking" noise from fiberglass boat to wood to fender.

They sell covers but I neglected to order them when I ordered the fenders. Problem solved!
