Hey Gang,
Just wondering, since pontoons/tri-toons, are like many boats in terms of no real actual place to tie a rope from a boat fender to, what are many of you using? There are quite a few in the aftermarket in various designs. Many of them just "clip" onto the top 1 1/4" rail and have some sort of rope bind built into them. I looked at about all that I could find and, well, finally decided on some. They're just one of those that clamps or slips over the square tubing rail and, have a stainless steel ring that you run a rope through. For using them on our last boat, I sewed up some webbing with black snap buckles that you could easily adjust the length of the webbing, to accommodate the needed length. But, that design won't work for our new Benny.
What I'm gonna do is, cut off the black buckles and when the new clips arrive, put them in place and then run the existing webbing through the eye of the loop and, mark where I need to sew it. From then on, all we'll need to do is, snap that clip onto the top rail and, the length of the webbing is already calculated. Just clip it on and it's done!
