And put them in position before you get to the dock, when docking 👍. And dock lines as well 😎

Make sure you use line that is UV resistant for long-term use.

Any tipps for fender air pressure?

Good question! I found this recommendation: polyformus.com/pages/boat-fender-buoy-inflation-guide?gclid=Cj0KCQiAgK2qBhCHARIsAGACuzkITQP4v3d8OpNGbeGM0fgl5FahlWOZ4je1IIczQn2qwwXU3o2YnBcaAshTEALw_wcB

And if it's a floating dock you use a lot of the time, you can preset your lines for that dock so all you have to do is attach them before coming up to the dock.
