DowcoLok Fender Clip: PDB TESTED No. 196

June 2016 PDB Tested, Product Brady L. Kay

The sad reality is the harder it is to do something, the less likely we’re going to do it. Okay, so that doesn’t apply to everything in life, but that statement feels true when it comes to putting out your boat fenders when approaching a dock. If I have to tie the rope around the rail and adjust the height each time, chances are good I’ll just ask someone onboard to “keep me away from the dock” as I run into the marina store for ice.

That’s why I’m a fan of products like this one from Dowco that I found while attending the Montego Bay dealer meeting last summer. The DowcoLok is a simple clip that allows you to instantly position your fenders and the provided strap allows you to easily adjust on the fly. It retails for $24.99 and that’s a price I can live with, especially if it saves my boat and my friendships.
