The Polyform G-6 is a black utility fender, 11 inches in diameter and 30 inches long. It is the biggest of the six sizes in the G Series, which runs from 3.5 inch to 11 inch diameters. The molded body is ribbed, and the ropehold area is reinforced. Each fender is inflated and tested at the factory, and this size is one of the four largest, which carry an inflation valve so the firmness can be changed.
Our take
The G-6 is the largest G Series size at 11 inches by 30 inches, and it has an inflation valve, so you can adjust its firmness. That lets you tune how much it gives against a piling or another hull. Its reinforced ropehold also gives the lashing a solid anchor.
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.
