Steel piling in boat lift. Protection?

I have steel pickings instead of wood for my boat dock lift for my bass boat. Any ideas on how to protect my boat should I hit the piling.  I see lots of thoughts on wood piling but nothing for steel.  And keep in mind you can put anything down from the top (like PVC) since it is part of dock structure.  Any help is appreciated.

    Take a look at dock bumpers, several can be attached to steel piling, may take a drill and self taping screws.

    Got it done today. Put wood around it to one board they had on the back.  Worked perfect after a few drops in the water?.
