The F8 is a twin-eye European style fender from Polyform, in blue, 15 inches across and 58 inches long. The F series comes in 12 sizes, and this is the F8. The ropehold area is solid rubber, and the maker designed the F line for rough commercial and recreational use. Polyform calls these its strongest fenders.
Our take
Solid rubber at the ropehold puts the extra material where the line attaches to this twin-eye fender, and the maker calls the F series its strongest. At 15 by 58 inches it is built for rough commercial and recreational use.
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.
