+1 for our boat. The dealer said that the stops if used on the port side or bow gates would be trip hazards since they would be where people walk, while the stern gate stop is right next to the fence. Made sense to me. I do like the magnets, although since they are not stainless steel, it will only be a short time until they rust.

I just wedge my box anchor into the door.

Our bow and side gates do not have door stops, the only one that came with one was the stern gate. This is our first summer so I asked the marina where we bought it to order 2 stops to put in when they have it for the winter. I will have to tell my husband about this idea. Thanks!

How do these hold up to the weather? Will they rust?
So far so good... Not sure if they'll rust... They haven't been in long.

How long have you had it?
They've only been mounted for about a month I think.

What is the magnet stuck to on your seat side? Is it vinyl or plastic? I have a 2017 boat which has vinyl all the way to the floor. I'm wondering if it would stick to the vinyl?
Not sure if it'd stick to the vinyl. My seat base is plastic.

I like these ideas... just make sure everything is STAINLESS steel. The Sea shows no mercy...

Maybe it's just my internet browser, but none of the links for the magnets work anymore in this thread. Does anyone have a name brand, or an update amazon listing, or picture of these magnet door holders? I see ones on there for about $50, but that seems a little excessive for a magnet door holder to me.

This worked well for me (though you have adjust the install since the adjustment screw is on the mounting face, possible another brand): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08371Z58N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

We ran like that all the time, just tied it open, actually left it tied open most of the time.

Cornhole beanbags keep the doors open when you wish to open them. Toss bean bags in some storeage spot when not needed. Life's good here at SML!!
