Taylor Made Products Tuff End Round Fender/Buoy, 18 Inch, Orange, Marine-Grade Vinyl

The Taylor Made Products Tuff End Round Fender is an 18 inch inflatable buoy fender built from flexible, resilient marine-grade vinyl for heavy-duty use on larger boats. Its seamless one-piece construction is designed to hold up under repeated dock contact and mooring use without seams to fail. Both ends are injection molded and tested to 2000 psi tensile strength, with large line holes sized to accept most ropes and standard shackles, so it can be rigged as a fender or a mooring buoy. Inflation is handled through a Tri-valve, which accepts either a standard football needle or an air compressor, making it quick to inflate or deflate for storage. Finished in high-visibility orange, the Tuff End is made in the USA and sized at 18 inches with a 57 inch circumference and 1-1/2 inch line holes. It is intended for heavier, larger vessels where a standard-duty round fender is not rugged enough.
