The Polyform G3 is a gray utility fender from the G Series, 5.5 inches in diameter and 19 inches long. It has molded ribs and a reinforced ropehold area, and it is inflated and tested at the factory. The G3 is one of the four largest sizes in the series, which have inflation valves so you can set the firmness.
Our take
The G3 is the smallest of the G Series sizes with an inflation valve, so you can adjust its firmness, which the two smaller sizes do not offer. At 5.5 inches across and 19 inches long, it is a modest size.
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.
