This is a Taylor Made Big B inflatable fender, 6 inches by 15 inches, in Mid Atlantic Blue. A tube runs through the middle for passing a line from end to end. Ribs along the sides hold it in place and limit rolling. It has a built-in black valve, and the maker recommends inflating it to 2 PSI. It can hang either upright or on its side.
Our take
The recommended 2 PSI is a light inflation, and the maker calls the vinyl extra soft yet tough. The ribbed sides are there to stop it rolling, and the tube through the middle lets one line hang it upright or on its side.
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.
