I was once told that running with your fenders out is like walking around with your fly down.
I walk around with my fly down a lot also. No big deal as long as its not hanging out. I Know! TMI.
I do the same and a nurse asked me once if i was trolling. True incident that happened just after Sparks Family Hospital opened and i was working on an electrical problem that came up.
at first i gave her a blank look untill she mentioned my zipper was down

To make white streaks on my dark hull.
they can be a bear to remove. Not that i have ever rubbed the dock hard enough to leave marks but i have helped othersTo put black marks on your hull. Stationary black rubber and a moving boat are a bad combination and the dock always wins.
