Taylor Made 31016 Ribbed Vinyl Boat Fender, 2-Pack
Taylor Made 31016 Ribbed Vinyl Boat Fender, 2-Pack — Product description
These Taylor Made ribbed vinyl fenders are simple, well-built dock protection sold two to a pack. Each one runs 6 inches across and 22 inches long in scuff-hiding black, inflates through a needle valve, and ships with a 6-foot fender line so you can hang them the day they arrive. A solid fit for boats in the 20 to 30 foot range.
Every boat that ties up to a dock or rafts alongside another needs fenders, and these Taylor Made ribbed fenders are the honest, do-the-job kind. You get two of them, each 6 inches across and 22 inches long, molded from tough vinyl in a flat black that hides scuffs instead of showing them off. Hang a pair over the rail and they take the bumps so your gelcoat doesn't.
The ribbed body is the part worth talking about. Those raised ribs give the fender a little give and a lot of grip against a piling or a neighboring hull, so it stays put instead of rolling out of the way right when you need it. Vinyl handles sun, salt, fuel spatter, and the general grime of dock life without cracking or going chalky. A quick wipe with soapy water brings the black back.
Each fender inflates through a needle-type valve, the same kind you'd use on a ball pump. That means you can dial in the firmness you want and top them off mid-season when they soften up a touch. Snug and hard for a heavy boat working against a fixed dock, or a little softer for gentle raft-ups, it's your call.
Taylor Made ships these with 6-foot black fender lines, so there's no separate trip to the chandlery before you can hang them. Tie them to a cleat, a rail, or a lifeline and you're protected the same afternoon the box lands. The 6 by 22 size is a sweet spot for a lot of boats in the 20 to 30 foot range, runabouts, small cruisers, center consoles, and the like.
Buy them in pairs because that's how you use them. Two down one side for a routine dock, all four out when you're rafting up or expecting a rough night. And because they're black, they don't scream fender against a dark rub rail the way a white one does. Simple, well-built dock gear from a company that's been making it for a long time.
