The F2 is a European style twin-eye fender in black, measuring 8.2 inches in diameter by 25 inches long. It is one of 12 sizes in the range, and the ropehold area is solid rubber. Polyform describes the F line as the strongest fenders it makes, designed for rough commercial and recreational use, with an even wall thickness.
Our take
The solid rubber ropehold area is where the F2 takes the pull of its line, and the maker builds it that way for strength. With an even wall thickness, the body is meant to carry load without weak points.
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.
