I’ve read and seen a couple of videos on ‘Benni Clips’. But I’ve looked everywhere online and can’t find them anywhere. Do they exist or are they just like Bigfoot?
 
I just stick with the tight plastic C shaped over the rail clips. If something yanks on a fender really hard, I might break a few a year if a boat is really rocking hard beside mine and catches a fender wrong.... but I'd rather break plastic clips than yank really hard on the whole frame. I don't like any setup where the most expensive thing to give under stress is an integral part of the boat.
 
I believe this is a dealer order item.

I have them on mine and love them! Way better than the plastic clips or EZ Fenders. Very small profile that won’t interfere with your mooring cover.

Yea, I’d watched that video before. But I still can’t find the clips for sale on the website or anywhere. I’ll check with my dealer.

Bennington is not an owner direct company. They are dealer direct. So ANY part or item you ever need or want, you will need to go through the parts department (or Service Department) of a certified Bennington dealer. That is why you are not finding it (or any other part you might search for) online with Bennington.

Now I understand this comment so much more. I called 3 different dealers and none knew what I was talking about. With a feeling it was terminology, I just left my local dealer where I bought my boat. They had told me on the phone never heard of them. I showed them the video from Bennington. They said oh those clips, how many you want. Went in the back and brought out a bag. But then went on to tell me I don’t really want them because they break easily. I voiced my skepticism and confidence I wouldn’t break them. She then said they were $22 each. After I finished laughing and threatened to call the police for a robbery, they explained how buying OEM Bennington parts was paying for quality and not like TEMU. I mentioned that just 2 minutes ago they were not good and break all the time. They then tried to shift me to a completely different clip. Told me I could touch up any paint scratches with a black marker. Embarrassing
