The Polyform G-2 is a twin-eye fender measuring 4.5 inches by 15.5 inches, finished in sand. It is made in one piece and has molded-in ribs for strength and abrasion resistance. It inflates through a Polyform valve and holds 0.7 gallons. The maker recommends it for boats from 10' to 15'.
Our take
The twin eyes let you hang this 4.5 by 15.5 inch G-2 either vertically or horizontally, so you choose how it sits against the hull or dock. The maker sizes it for boats of 10' to 15', so treat it as a small-boat fender.
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.
