I’ve had the standard sausage tube bumpers (not great) and I’ve also got the BABZ balls (great protection but a pain space wise if you don’t deflate) but I wanted something I didn’t have to inflate for quick dock stops etc.

For anyone wondering how they “fit” here’s a pic.

I've been using Sentry's since I bought my boat. Love them. Simple, easy to store, durable.

I did break a strap on one, when I left it on and got going under power.

I have a couple sentry fenders but I cant say I love them. I try to use them but just havent ever really felt confident I wont get my boat bashed into the dock. I think babz are this year splurge for me.

You'll love the protection of the BABZ. I use them when we are tied up in rough waters and/or overnight docks etc. It's especially easy if you can leave them inflated on the dock until you return. Also great for attaching to other boats.

My issue is that if you don't deflate them, they are always in the way. And deflation/inflation does take a few minutes.
