The Polyform G3 is a sand colored utility fender measuring 5.5 inches in diameter and 19 inches long. It has the molded-in ribbed design of the G Series. The rope hold area is reinforced and the walls are an even thickness. Each fender is inflated and tested at the factory. The G3 is one of the sizes with an inflation valve, so the firmness can be adjusted.
Our take
The inflation valve on the G3 means you can adjust its firmness, which the smaller G1 and G2 sizes do not offer. Along with the reinforced rope hold, that is the practical feature of this 5.5 inch by 19 inch body.
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.
