The Polyform HTM-4 is a fender in teal, 13.5 inches in diameter and 34.8 inches long, with 145 lbs of buoyancy. A center rope tube lets you hang it vertically or horizontally from the topsides or the dock. Vertical ribs and extra wall thickness add strength, and the tube ends are reinforced so a line can't be pulled through. The eye is 5/8 inch and takes 1/2 inch line.
Our take
The HTM-4's center rope tube lets you hang it vertically or horizontally, and the reinforced tube ends keep a line from pulling through. Its 5/8 inch eye takes 1/2 inch line, so match your fender lines to that.
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.
