Hello All… since purchasing our boat 5 years ago, we have stored 4 fenders on the front of the boat. Two on each side in racks that were on the boat at the time of purchase. Since then, both racks have broken multiple times due to fenders expanding in the heat and general wear and tear. I have learned over the years that we really only need 2 fenders. I am not thinking of storing the two fenders in the chain locker. Does anyone else store their fenders in the chain locker? Any thoughts as to why this may be a bad idea? Rapid deployment of the anchor should not be an issue as I or crew would have to go forward to release the anchor safty latch and safty line so an extra. 10 seconds or less to pull the fenders out should not be an issue. Thank you for your thoughts and suggestions!
