Should I use a stopper knot in the end of the fender line with the Fendergrip?
Yes. A stopper knot provides a physical stop for someone unfamiliar with the Fendergrip; if a crewmember simply pushes and holds the release button, the stopper knot will be a failsafe to prevent the loss of a fender. On a vertical fender, a slip knot is a good choice for a stopper knot as it can be easily undone to remove the Fendergrip with the fender. When using two Fendergrips in a horizontal storage mode, a figure-8 knot makes a good choice for a long lasting stopper knot, as the fender will be stored against a railing and not removed.
