Phender pro

Are these a worthy option?

My put: no. Not where the factory location is anyway. Get your own and mount them higher.

The GoPro mounts are more useful in my opinion than the phender mount locations, but I think its all or nothing, don't think you can get just the GoPro mounts on the transom from the factory.

Agreed. There's a little spray that comes up from the swim step right in front of the gopro mount. Makes that location essentially useless. I'm going to get another set and mount them higher.

I feel the opposite. The fender mounts are perfect for the height of the docks around here. A lot will depend on how tall your docks are where you boat.

But to answer Larry's question, yes they're worth it.

It's cheaper that method. I thought about doing the after-market ones to the SL, but never got around to ordering them. Then it was on back-order, then something else, etc. etc.

My fear would be a mount like this. In this pic if this is the port/bow location, looks too low if you wanted a bumper on the rub rail.

Interested on the height issue, are they too low and you can’t get the fender high enough?

It’s actually a good deal for 6 phender pros. The hardware alone is $600-$700.

Love mine, use them all the time. This is the first boat I've had with them and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Now having said that, I use Hippity Hops as fenders and have them tied off to the Phender pro right against the handle, so the diameter touches the boat below the rub rail. The phender pro receptacle has a large diameter on the outside of the boat and the pin has a tapered delrin or teflon pin. Haven't scratched a thing in 2 years on the current boat, and I'm not the one who puts the fenders out. With the Hops it's so damn easy, I keep 2 inflated all the time, and 2 more deflated. Literally deploy and retrieve your fenders in seconds, and the cleats stay clear of lines.

Not sure if the design has changed, it’s a pass for me though as I’m too worried about someone scratching up the gel coat trying to get it lined up and pushed in. Especially on a choppy day. No offense to any females on the forum, but go take a look at your wife’s door handle around the key hole... already too many tasks left up to the person making the payments, don’t want to add another to the mix. Looks nice though and a great idea. On a white boat may be fine.

The SA appears to have the rear one pretty high

And the front one is on top of gunnel.

Those are much better locations. My 2020 were too low.
