The Taylor Made SD1829G is a grey inflatable fender measuring 18 inches wide and 29 inches tall, listed by the maker for yachts up to 75 feet. The welded seams use no glue, so there is no adhesive to harden or break down. The webbing exceeds 4500 lbs. of tensile strength. Air goes in and out through a heavy-duty valve that is spring actuated and locks with a quarter turn. The maker backs it with a five-year limited warranty.
Our take
The welded seams carry no glue, so there is no adhesive to harden or break down. With webbing exceeding 4500 lbs. of tensile strength, the maker puts it forward for yachts up to 75 feet, and the quarter-turn valve lock keeps inflation simple.
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.
