This is a vinyl covered Hull Saver fender in white, measuring 30 by 6 by 4 inches. It hinges so it can bend over a gunwale and follow the hull's shape, and it also works laid flat as an ordinary fender. Inside is high-density closed cell polyethylene foam. The cover is a UV resistant, tear proof vinyl and polyester tri-laminate, and corrosion-proof grommets are fitted for attaching it. Hung vertically, it protects the gunwale and stows away easily.
Our take
Hinging over the gunwale is the point of this design: hung vertically it covers the rail edge and the hull together. The UV resistant, tear proof vinyl cover is built for outdoor wear, and it stows away easily when not in use.
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.
