Taylor Made Products 1149 Tuff End Round Buoy/Fender, White, 18 Inch Diameter

The Taylor Made Products 1149 is an 18 inch diameter round Tuff End buoy and fender built from flexible, resilient marine-grade vinyl. Its seamless one-piece construction eliminates weak seams, and the injection molded ends are tested to withstand 2000 psi of tensile strength, giving it the durability to handle repeated contact and mooring use. Large line holes at each end accommodate most ropes and shackles, making it easy to rig as a mooring buoy or hang it as a fender.

Inflation is handled through a Tri-valve system, so it can be filled with a standard football needle or an air compressor, whichever is on hand. The 18 inch model has a circumference of 57 inches, a 1-1/2 inch rope/eye hole, and provides 112 pounds of buoyancy, making it suitable for marking a mooring or cushioning a hull. It is manufactured in the USA to standards intended for the demands of heavy duty marine use, and it is finished in white for high visibility on the water.
