well we had a hail storm on Friday night which put large holes in my eisenglass, so about $400 later, Im over it. what I am bummed about is I lost two fenders. They were held on by fender tender white clips. I am looking to replace the clips but dont want anything that will break so easily. does anyone have any clips or hanger that they recomend for their fenders?

I use the same clips for rafting up, but would probably consider tying them off somehow for when no one is present. Could you add a cleat or two in optimum places?

The fender tender clips are nice because I like to adjust my fenders depending on how I am docking and where, the problem is the plastic seems to get very brittle after being out in the sun for a while so the slightest tug and they break. I have seen some that are just vinyl straps that may be ok but they dont look the best. I like to keep the fenders on the boat as opposed to on the dock and prefer to have them clipped to the rail over a cleat so I can just slip my dock lines off the boat when Im ready to leave.

I have been using the Taylor vinyl/stainless fender adjusters for years and have found them quite durable.
