Taylor Made Products Super Gard Inflatable Vinyl Boat Fender, 8.5 x 26 Inches, Yellow, for Boats 25 to 35 Feet

The Taylor Made Products Super Gard is an inflatable vinyl boat fender built to cushion your hull during docking and mooring. Sized at 8.5 inches by 26 inches, it is designed for boats ranging from 25 to 35 feet long, providing a buffer between your vessel and the dock or neighboring boats.

The fender body is made of tough marine-grade vinyl that resists the wear and tear of daily use on the water. Its ends are double-molded, which helps them resist ripping and tearing so the fender holds up under repeated contact and turbulent conditions. A ribbed profile along the body minimizes rolling, keeping the fender in place and providing stability where a smooth-sided fender might slip. The vinyl uses Taylor Made's True Color technology, which is intended to keep the yellow finish looking rich and vibrant rather than fading out under sun and saltwater exposure over time.

For mounting, the Super Gard has a 5/8 inch double eyelet configuration at each end, allowing it to be hung vertically or horizontally depending on your boat's rub rail height and how you want it positioned along the hull. Inflation is handled through a rubber football needle valve, which lets you air the fender up to 2 psi using a standard needle-style pump, making setup and maintenance straightforward.
