Other than aesthetics, is there any practical value to
stowing the fenders
onboard? I know this doesn't look as nice, but I hate to
give up any space
onboard for them. I could leave them permanently tied to
the dock
(floating). I am essentially lazy when it comes to the
small stuff, but, I
am always willing to listen to good advice!


You want them with the boat, may need them away from your
dock some day.
There are 'brackets' to hang fenders from your stanchions.
You could make something easy enough.
Or just tie them to the lifelines, inboard, so they don't
hang (lubbery) or touch the water when you bury the rail.

I'm lazy too, don't sweat the small stuff. The main thing is
to enjoy your boat.

The downsides to keeping them on deck is that someone could trip on them or
they could roll off. If it's for a short while, then I do that. Most of the
time, I stow them.
