The Polyform HTM-3 is a fender measuring 10.5 inches by 27 inches in diameter and length, finished in orange. It is a one piece design with molded-in ribs and reinforced tube ends, and it holds 9.2 gallons. Polyform lists it for boats from 30 to 40 feet and rates it for medium-duty use at both protected and unprotected permanent moorings. It weighs 7.7 lb.
Our take
Polyform lists the 10.5 by 27 inch HTM-3 for boats of 30 to 40 feet and rates it medium-duty, so treat it as sized for that range. Molded-in ribs add abrasion resistance and the tube ends are reinforced.
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.
