The Taylor Made Low Profile is a vinyl fender designed for low freeboard boats. Its shape protects the gunwales and rubrail. It can be tied over the cleat so it sits higher on the boat. The vinyl is marine grade, and an inflation valve lets you set the air pressure. This one is 5" x 14".
Our take
This fender is shaped for low freeboard boats and protects the gunwales and rubrail. Because it can be tied over the cleat, you can set it higher on the boat, at the height where a dock meets your 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.
