The Polyform G3 is a cobalt blue utility fender, 5.5 inches across and 19 inches long, with a molded-in ribbed finish. The ropehold area is reinforced. At this size it has an inflation valve, so firmness can be adjusted. The eye is 5/8 inch across. Each fender is inflated and tested at the factory before it leaves.
Our take
The G3 is one of the four G Series sizes with an inflation valve, so firmness can be set to suit the berth instead of being fixed at the factory. The 5/8 inch eye is where the line goes, and the ropehold area around it is reinforced.
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.
