We have moved out boat to a different slip in a more (to us) desirable marina in Alamitos bay - one of the public marinas of Long Beach.
The new slip is a little tighter fit which is ok, however on the port side there is a concrete pylon(?), its function is to keep the floating dock in place, in such manner the pylon is extended through the dock so that the dock can freely move up and down with the tide.
There is only apprx 10 inches of dock between the pylon and the inside of the slip.
OK so my challenge is that the top of my gunwale and also my stainless rails protrude out so that if i was inadvertently pushed against the pylon at a 30 degree angleoff port bow, it would scrape against my wooden foot rails and the stainless rails. (yes it happened before).
I cannot put rubber on the pylon, so I guess I would need to either get some gunwale fenders or extended rub rails.
Any suggestions?
