Common Concerns Answered
Are these fender clips durable enough for harsh marine conditions?

The Railing Lock is engineered to firmly grasp standard rails with diameters ranging from 7/8" to 1" (22 to 25 mm). For railings significantly larger than 1 inch, alternative mounting solutions might be necessary.
