My boat, acquired last fall, has these from the previous owner. I use them all the time now and am pretty happy. The only issue with them is they're attached at a single point to the toe rail, so they can pivot back and forth a little around that point. With heavy long term use they might wear through the rubber pad they mount over and score the toe rail. But they work great for me and when folded down don't seem to catch anything, and I imagine if you monitor the situation you'll be fine.
