It is built from flexible, resilient marine grade vinyl using a seamless one-piece construction, which Taylor Made states is the strongest fender construction in the industry since there are no seams to fail under repeated compression. Each end is injection molded and tested to 2000 psi tensile strength, giving the fender durability at the points that see the most wear. Twin eyes are molded into the fender, allowing it to be hung either vertically or horizontally depending on how much freeboard protection a boat needs. Inflation and deflation are handled through a tri-valve, which accepts a standard football inflation needle or an air compressor; Taylor Made recommends inflating this fender to 2 psi. The line holes on this 8 inch diameter fender measure 1-1\/16 inch, sized to accommodate most dock lines and shackles. This fender is recommended for boats in the 25 to 40 foot range, though the best way to confirm the right size is to compare against fenders already in use at the same dock for boats of similar size and weight. It is finished in white and manufactured in the USA for heavy duty marine use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taylor
