Fender Covers By: Terry Gotcher When a pair of your favorite Levis wears out it can still be of good service to you. Cut the legs off and use them to cover your fenders. Cut them a bit longer than your fenders, turn them inside out, and stitch a seam across the cut end, leaving a gap in the center for your fender rope to go through. Turn them back, right side out, and pull the rope through the gap in the seam until the fender is all the way up in the pant leg. Fender covers may seem a bit useless as ready-made ones can cost more then the fenders themselves, but Terry gave a good reason for them.When rafted up with other boats the fenders tend to squeak all night with every movement of the boats. The covers eliminate the noise.
