I need to change from single 10 inch fender holders to fender holders that hold two 10 inch finders each. What do you thank of these two?

For that size of fender I would stay away from the first set. Wire baskets have a tendency to bend and distort their shape. Especially if for some reason you need to grab a fender in a hurry.Drool If I had to have a set on mine, ( I personally don't like the torpedo launcher look) I would go back with the ones I sold Chip. Check them out if you get a chance before you buy. Just my opinion.Whistle

Those don't look bad. I would just stay away from those wire holders. These look similar to the ones I sold Chip except that mine were the double holders. My concern would be how much room do these take up as far as walking by them from gunwales to the bow. Might want to get some measurements first.

How much would six giant stainless hose clamps, six small stainless hose clamps and some chain to make a cross piece for the bottom cost? Cost of the satisfaction of doing it yourself :Priceless..
It's winter, what else have you got to do? Bet you could make a set of nice fender holders for cheap.

I have the double wire type and they have been fine. They do fold down when not in use.

I currently have one Helm single fender holder on each side with 10.5 inch x 30 inch G-6 fenders If I could find two more Helm FH-105’s to match what I have would work. I have searched and cannot find any. My boat is a 1981 and these may be too old to find new.
