Fender board fender for a 2X6 board

I have been looking for the fenders for the fender boards that would fit on the ends of a 2x6. It is easy to find the ones that fit on the 2x4. I know they used to exist but I just can’t find any. Any information would be very nice.

Wadanoli, I've moved your post to this forum. The other forum is for questions about the forum.

As to fender boards. MY understanding of fender boards, and how I have mine set up, (for your size boat too) is that I have a 12' long 2 x 8. I've drilled two holes near each end of the board, about 4 inches apart and at a 45 degree angle to the plane of the 8" side. those two holes meet on the OUTSIDE edge (8" ). I've sorta countersunk those so the deploying line won't rub against what you are tied up to.

The FENDERS, go between your boat and the fenderboard - as many and of a sufficient size you need to keep the board away from your hull as the boat (fenderboard) moves against the pilings. So, I'm not really sure what your question is - can you be more specific?
