Specifications

Diameter x length
19 x 50 inches

The Taylor Made 41193 is a blue boat fender measuring 19 inches by 50 inches. It is meant to protect a vessel from knocks while it is docked or moored. The maker says the shape makes it easy to handle and gives effective cushioning against impacts. The blue finish gives it a traditional marine look. The maker's part number is 41193, which is the number to match if you are replacing a fender of the same size and colour.

Our take

The 41193 is 19 inches by 50 inches, and the maker credits its shape with easy handling as well as cushioning against impacts. Handling matters when you hang and recover fenders at every dock, so a size you can lift and tie off easily is worth weighing against bulk.

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.
