Trying to be creative on keeping boat from scraping against bridge pylons. Seems bumper guards tend to move out of position do to wakes, wind, etc. I am counting on fellow slab chasers to share techniques/methods. the obvious comments are, tie up away from.
I was thinking of strapping multiple bumpers together on the pylon, or at impact points on boat. aluminum boat. Fire away folks. I can't be the only one wondering
Rub rail made from garden hose or pool noodles?

Good topic. I’ll be following this one closely in hopes of getting some good ideas. I struggle with this in my boat.

What about a cheap pool float of some kind?
Richard Gene the Fishing Machine made some portable side bumpers for his boat. The frame was shaped like a U on each side, holding a boat bumper horizontal between the sides. Frame was made of PVC so he could take them on and off easily. Look for his videos where he is fishing for Sauger next to the dam and lock walls.

biggest concer is rear corner where pylon clrats side wall, and threatens the outboard. Tracker Pro 170Quote:
