The Polyform G-2 is a small twin-eye utility fender in cobalt blue, 4.5" x 15.5", sold singly. Ribs molded into the body add strength and resistance to scuffing. It holds .7 gallons and the maker sizes it for boats from 10' to 15'. The eyes are .5" across and let it hang upright or lie sideways. Polyform describes it for trailered boats and protected permanent moorings.

Our take

The maker pairs this 4.5" x 15.5" fender with boats of 10' to 15', and its twin eyes let you hang it upright or lay it flat. That makes it a compact option for a small trailered boat.

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.
