The Polyform G-6 is a twin-eye utility fender in cobalt blue, 11" x 30", supplied with an inflation adapter. Molded ribs add strength and resistance to scuffing along the body. It holds 8.5 gallons, and the maker sizes it for boats from 35' to 40'. The eyes are .875" across, so it can hang upright or lie sideways. Polyform describes it for trailered boats and protected permanent moorings.
Our take
The twin eyes on this 11" x 30" fender let you hang it upright or lay it sideways from the same fitting, so you can set it to the rail or the dock. The maker rates it for boats of 35' to 40'.
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.
