[Rhodes22-list] Fenders?

[Bob Weber]

Art, I never tried them under the seats.  I toss them on top of the porta 
potty.  Should fit in the laz if you want them more handy.  They come in 
White and Orange.  I have white but will replace with orange when I lose the 
next one - white is a little hard to find in the water.  I use them all the 
time during classes as Man overboard and buoys for my students to sail 
around.  Bob
