You may want to try a couple OD those stick-on soft rubber dots that people put on the backs of picture frames. The felt is a great idea, but may get moldy from the rain in some locations. We don't have rain in Southern California, of course, but we do rinse our boats with a hose. Haven't checked to see if water dissolves the adhesive on the sticky dots.
