Where to buy
The Taylor Made Pontoon Corner-Gard is a fender made for the corners of a pontoon boat. It is shaped to mount on radius-style or 90-degree corners and measures 3 inches wide by 12 inches long. It slips over the original factory aluminum corner section and gives air-cushioned protection when you dock. The silver PVC is formulated to match the aluminum of the boat, and stainless fasteners are included to secure it.
Our take
The 3 inch by 12 inch Corner-Gard sits over the factory aluminum corner section, so it protects a spot on a pontoon where ordinary fenders and bumpers do not reach. Its air cushion takes the dock knocks, and the silver PVC blends with the aluminum.
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.
