Boat Fender Hanger (for 7/8" [22.2X mm] rails)

Sometimes I just don't want to deal with knots when approaching the dock. After ordering and returning a boat fender hanger from an online retailer, which didn't fit my needs, I decided that I could create a better one. This part should be printed flat with the "teeth" on top to avoid support structures being generated around the teeth, and to provide maximum shear strength for the hook. I printed with 50% infill and 0.3mm layer height. The rope hole is 10mm diameter, and the hook is designed for a 7/8 inch bow rail (or grab rail). If enough people have a need for a bigger hook to accommodate a larger rail diameter, I can post other STLs with those changes made. I am not responsible for any damage to your boat or loss of property (fenders). Use these hangers at your own risk. Enjoy! Update 7/16/17: The notched version is designed for folks with low rise bow rails. Also, a new version will be available in a few moments that will have better rope gripping ability. Update 7/17/17: (V4ee) Slightly more streamlined, angled teeth, and a more finished look. This is the one to print. Please feel free to leave me feedback on the design. Let me know if it's working for you!
