My apologies for my post. It is far from the discussion being discussed about hanging feeders on pontoon boats. That is a long way from my favorite place in the world the BVI's. I have been Captaining Charters in this wonderful sailing for 40 years.

Hey @ishoot308,

How easily do these snap on and off the rail?
How well do they grab the rail when the bumper is being smooshed (that's a nautical term)?
Have they loosened up at all with their hold on the rail?

I am considering picking a few of these up.

If your rails are standard 1 1/4” they will fit fine. My Bennington has a very slightly larger rail due to its design and they squeeze over it pretty good. No problems when the fender is being “smooshed” as you say.. They are not made to be used when underway. As far as loosening up, again they are made to be taken on and off when docking, they are not designed to be permanent.

They work very and I am happy with them.
