This is a Polyform G-5 twin eye fender in white, 8.8 inches in diameter and 26.8 inches long. It has molded ribs that add strength and resist abrasion. Each eye is .75 inch across, and the fender can hang vertically or lie horizontally. Polyform sizes it for boats of 25 to 35 feet. It holds 5.1 gallons, weighs 4.45 pounds and comes with an inflation adapter.
Our take
At 8.8 by 26.8 inches and 4.45 pounds, this fender is sized by the maker for boats of 25 to 35 feet. Twin eyes let it hang vertically or lie horizontally, and the molded ribs add strength against abrasion.
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.
