The Polyform G3 is a utility fender in teal, 5.5 inches across and 19 inches long. It leaves the factory inflated and individually tested, and its body is molded with ribs. The area around the ropehold is reinforced, and the G3 is one of the sizes fitted with an inflation valve. Polyform's fenders have a name for even wall thickness, with no thin spots or voids in the body.
Our take
The G3's inflation valve lets you adjust its firmness, so you can tune how hard it sits between hull and dock. Its ropehold area is reinforced, which covers the spot where the line pulls on a 5.5 inch by 19 inch fender 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.
