The Polyform G-1 is a small twin eye fender measuring 3.5 inches by 12.8 inches, in sand. It has a 0.375 inch eye diameter, holds 0.4 gallons and weighs .7 lb, and it is supplied with an inflation adapter. Molded-in ribs give strength and abrasion resistance, and it can hang vertically or horizontally. Polyform lists it for boats up to 10 ft (3 M).
Our take
The 3.5 by 12.8 inch body and .7 lb weight are sized by the maker for boats up to 10 ft. It hangs vertically or horizontally, so you can choose the orientation that works against your hull and dock, and the molded-in ribs add abrasion resistance.
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.
