The Taylor Made Hull Saver Contour fender is a black vinyl covered fender measuring 24"x6"x2.5". It hinges so it can wrap around the gunwale and hull, and it can also be used flat. A high-density closed cell polyethylene foam core sits under the vinyl covering, and corrosion-proof grommets handle attachment. It wraps vertically and stows away easily.
Our take
The hinge is what sets this 24"x6"x2.5" fender up to wrap the gunwale and follow the hull, and it also works flat. The cushioning comes from the closed cell polyethylene foam under the vinyl covering.
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.
