- Inflation valve
The Polyform G5 is a classic red utility fender from the G Series, 8.8 inches in diameter and 26.8 inches long. It has molded ribs and a reinforced ropehold area, and it is inflated and tested at the factory. The G5 is one of the four largest sizes in the series, which have inflation valves so you can set the firmness.
Our take
The G5 measures 8.8 inches across and 26.8 inches long, and as one of the four largest G Series sizes it has an inflation valve, so you can set its firmness. Polyform notes 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.
