The F-6 is a white fender from Polyform's F Series, measuring 11 x 42 inches and sized by the maker for boats 35 to 50 ft. It has a vinyl valve that seals securely and an even wall thickness. There are multiple ribbed, reinforced ropeholds and twin eyes, so it can hang vertically or horizontally. Polyform designed it for permanent moorings, pilings, locks and concrete walls.
Our take
Twin eyes on this 11 x 42 inch fender let you hang it vertically or horizontally, so the same fender can sit against a piling or lie along a wall. The maker sizes it for boats of 35 to 50 ft.
From our buying guide
Polyform says to use at least three fenders when docking, and Taylor Made's rule of thumb is one for every 10 ft of waterline per side. Both makers hedge their size charts, so allow for your boat and where you moor.
Check before you buy:
- The size is on that maker's own chart for your boat's length.
- Your fender line suits the eye, since Polyform says too small a line can cut through a vinyl eye.
- You'll inflate it to the maker's figure, since two makers say over-inflating voids the warranty.
