Gunnel guard has a few problems.
This gunnel guard has a couple of design issues. First,let me say there is ample padding and it will protect your gunnel. But if you order a piece, is will come with a frayed cut end and will require som sewing, or hemming to make it tidy. Second, as it is a fabric and will be attached permanently, It retains some measure of dirt and stains.

Too big
It is an excellent product but is too big for the boat I bought it for. Apparently the company makes two sizes, Defender sells one size. The catalog was a bit vague but it looked correct based on my measurements so I decided to risk it and just go ahead and buy - I mean there was a 50% chance it would fit, right? Nope. So I take responsibility for my mistake.

Great gunnel guard that last forever
I have had this gunnel guard on another boat for 23 years and it has held up well. Just bought more gunnel guard for a new tender. It is very pricey but it works. The Defender online site is setup improperly to sell this product limiting sales to 18' lengths - it comes in 50' lenghts from Taylor. I ordered to 15' lengths - this worked for me but may not for you.
