I found the naked black fenders would rub off scuff marks on my hull, much like black soled tennis shoes on a floor. It was most noticible on my white rubber rubrail (rubber on rubber). So I had some covers custom made to match my paint job.
I've used them for two seasons and I'm going to need to replace them for next summer. They're getting worn out. We raft up a lot at loto!

Ya gotta love those newbees with the brand new, 30-foot Bajas that show up at party cove with no fenders. Or worse, "Walmart fenders" that are three inches in diameter.

The best ones i have seen were made of fleece. They were on some boats on display at the Newport R.I. show this fall. You think i could of remembered the info on the label. It was something like MainePoint. I am still kicking myself for not writing it down.

I had fender covers. I ripped them off because all the did was collect the dirt from the muddy Hudson river and it was like throwing a bunch of wet towels in my boat that never dried out and they became smelly and moldy. Naked is the only way to go.
