Need some help...I have a 245 Weekender...

Need some help...I have a 245 Weekender that will be moored this season against a steel seawall (local river off Lake Huron). No tidal issues or wake concerns to deal with but any suggestions for hull protection against the steel "sheet style" pile (interlocked) seawall? I cannot erect any type of vertical wooden boards to rub against due to marina rules. Thanks

Welcome to the forum.

Why not make / use a batter board, as-shown in the link?

They are also really handy when docking against a piling.
