That's another way of recycling. The tyres will probably last longer than regular fenders too. I guess that without the fabric covers the tyre rubber will mark the boat, so they're not just to improve appearances. Justin. BTW: Tyres are those air-filled rubber things on the wheels of an automobile, tires is what one does when one works hard ;-) Nope, won't mark the boat at all! Been aboard many tugs and work boats. Never seen a fender mark at all. Just paint the hull black..... Bruce-in-Bangkok (correct Address is bpaige125atgmaildotcom) Most of the ones I have seen on boats just have thick plastic garbage bags around them to prevent hull marking. Peter |
