The Polyform F5 is a white, twin-eye fender of European style, sized at 11 inches in diameter by 30 inches long. It belongs to the F series, which Polyform describes as the strongest fenders it makes. The F series is built for rough commercial and recreational work. The rope hold area is solid rubber, and the walls are made to an even thickness, so the body has no thin spots to worry about.
Our take
The F5 has a solid rubber rope hold, so the spot where your fender line pulls is made of solid material instead of a thin molded wall. Polyform designed the series for rough commercial and recreational use, and this one is an 11 by 30 inch body.
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.
