The Polyform G4 is a cobalt blue utility fender from the G Series, 6.5 inches in diameter and 22 inches long. It has molded-in ribs and a reinforced area where the rope attaches. This is one of the sizes in the range that carries an inflation valve, so you can adjust its firmness after it is hung. Polyform inflates and tests each one at the factory.
Our take
The G4's reinforced ropehold area gives the line a built-up point to tie to, and the inflation valve lets you set its firmness to suit the dock. Polyform also describes an even wall thickness, with no thin spots or voids.
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.
