The Polyform G6 is a gray utility fender from the G Series, 11 inches in diameter and 30 inches long, with a 7/8 inch eye. Diameters in the series run from 3.5 to 11 inches, so this is the largest. The ropehold area is reinforced, the fender has an inflation valve so firmness can be adjusted, and each one is inflated and tested at the factory.
Our take
At 11 inches across and 30 inches long, the G6 tops the G Series, and its inflation valve lets you set firmness to suit the job. The reinforced ropehold area is the part that takes the pull from the lines.
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.
