Re: (couldn't post in tech) 570 RUBBER FENDER

Just measured the fender. littleboatporthaven seem to have sent me about 18m thankfully. I'm very confident about the fit now.

Going to try it alone tomorrow with an armory of G-clamps and lube. Just a regular weekend.

Thanks for all of your help!

(couldn't post in tech) 570 RUBBER FENDER

Sorry for posting in general. For some reason there was no 'new topic' button in technical forum.

I'll delete as soon as I receive answer.

Does anyone know what the required length of fender strip for 570 is?

By my calculations 15m should do it, but then I was never very good at calculations ...
