The Polyform G-4 is a one-piece twin-eye utility fender in blue, 6.5 inches across and 22 inches long. The eyes are .75 inch in diameter, and the maker lists it for boats from 20 to 25 feet. Its volume is 2.2 gallons and it weighs 2.7 lbs. The twin eyes let you hang it vertically or horizontally, and it is made with trailered boats and permanent protected moorings in mind.
Our take
The twin-eye layout of the G-4 lets you hang it vertically or horizontally, and the maker designed it for trailered boats and permanent protected moorings. With boat sizes of 20 to 25 feet listed, it is sized as a utility fender for boats in that range.
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.
