The Polyform G-1 is a one-piece twin-eye fender in black, 3.5 inches across and 12.8 inches long. Its eyes are .375 inch in diameter, and the maker lists it for boats up to 10 feet. Volume is .4 gallons and it weighs .8 lbs. Ribs are molded into the body to add strength and resist abrasion, and the twin eyes let you hang it vertically or horizontally.
Our take
At 3.5 by 12.8 inches with a .4 gallon volume, the G-1 is the maker's fender for boats up to 10 feet, and its twin eyes mean it can hang vertically or horizontally. The molded-in ribs add strength and abrasion resistance to the 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.
