They are about 1 1/2 inches wide by 1/8 inch thick and about a buck each. I cut a bunch to length, wrapped tape over one end, placed them against the ports and clamped them to the lifelines with spring clamps. I put bungee cords across the boat lifeline to lifeline to add compression. http://www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-2-in-Spring-Clamp-80002/100027346 System worked well. Dennis C.
