The Polyform F10 is a twin-eye, European style inflatable fender measuring 18 inches in diameter by 50 inches long, in black. It comes from a range of 12 sizes made by the same maker. The ropehold area is solid rubber, and the specifications list a 1.0 inch eye diameter and 396 lb of buoyancy. Polyform places it among the strongest fenders it makes, designed for rough commercial and recreational use.
Our take
The solid rubber ropehold on the F10 is where its strength is concentrated, and the 1.0 inch eye is what your line passes through. At 18 by 50 inches with 396 lb of buoyancy, it is one of the strongest fenders Polyform makes.
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.
