The Taylor Made 1192 is a white boat fender measuring 15x41 inches, made to cushion a hull while the boat sits at a dock or on a mooring. It carries the Tuff End design, which is the feature the maker points to for resisting wear and tear. The white colour gives it a clean, classic look alongside the hull. It is sold under the maker's part number 1192, so you can match it against the same size and colour when you replace one.
Our take
The Tuff End design is the part to look at on the 1192. The maker says it improves resistance to wear and tear, which is what a fender rubbing against a dock or piling has to put up with. At 15x41 inches it is one fixed size, so measure your freeboard against it first.
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.
