This Polyform G Series twin eye fender measures 8.8 inches by 26.8 inches and comes in lime. The walls are an even thickness, with molded-in ribs that add strength and resist abrasion, and the rope holds are reinforced. Polyform says the even wall thickness gives it maximum strength, and it describes the valve as built for years of service. The fender is designed for trailered boats and permanent protected moorings.
Our take
The molded-in ribs on this 8.8 by 26.8 inch fender add strength and abrasion resistance, which counts on a surface that rubs against a dock. Polyform designed the G Series for trailered boats and permanent protected moorings, so treat it as a sheltered-berth 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.
