Ok, stupid question. My new boat came with some nice bumpers, they have a hole at the top with a screw in plug. Am I supposed to put something in them to keep them from floating up all goofy sideways when trying to protect against a low dock? If so, then what do I put in there? Serious and silly replies are all welcome, I know I couldn't resist.

They are fenders. Bumpers are on your car. :D
Fill them with tequila, rum and vodka. Then you will always have a backup plan if the cooler runs out. :D

I thought fenders were on your car and bumpers were for the boat. OOps, easy mistake. .
I do like the Booze filling though.

I've never heard of a bottom weighted fender but it's a fantastic idea. Where did you get them?

They gave them to me when I bought the boat. The one in the pic on my truck is heavy on both ends, it was in my 88 carrera when I bought it. I had to keep 1 for the memories.

We call those blue things fenders up here in Canada. :)
... so to me, there is a fender on your truck's fender. :)

Mr. Tom is correctamundo!
There's a whole bunch of boating terms you should know.
Bow, Stern, aft, port, starboard, etc. Cmon, study your boating safety and terminology so we can be proud of you... :D

I just thought they were bumpers 'cause you bump into dock with them. Now I realize they are fenders to fend off attacking docks.:D
