The F8 is a white Polyform fender measuring 15 in across and 58 in long. It is a European style twin-eye design, one of 12 sizes in the F range. Polyform describes the F fenders as the strongest it makes, intended for rough commercial and recreational use. The ropehold area is solid rubber for extra strength.

Our take

The F8 is a long 15 in by 58 in twin-eye fender with a solid rubber ropehold, which the maker credits with exceptional strength. The maker says the F range is made 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.
