Black tubes are ABS (plastic) pipe. Not painted. You can get it at "the Depot". I've seen grey PVC in addition to regular white.
The only thing about the Velcro that I wouldn't like is it would probably collect surface scum and algae and mess up the "clean" I like on my boats. Call me crazy! Also, from then on I'd be limited to using that spot and have to constrain future designs to that. Again, it's the engineer in me thinking out loud.
I think a bungee and hook to the underside D-ring is a fine solution!
