I think what needs to happen to minimize fender abrasion is to have fenders that roll with the movement of the hull. So perhaps having fenders oriented in a horizontal position will abrade the hull less than having them in a vertical position.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">Steve, the point of the "ball" fenders is they can roll horizontally and vertically, whatever the movement of the boat. If my boat were in contact with the dock (which it isn't), I'd get a three of them.
