Taylor Made 543114 4x16 Ribbed Boat Fender Blue
Taylor Made 543114 4x16 Ribbed Boat Fender Blue — Product description
The Taylor Made 543114 is a ribbed vinyl fender that keeps your hull off the dock and off your neighbor's boat. Four inches across, sixteen long, in blue. It inflates through a needle-type valve, so you can set the firmness you want, then hang it and forget it.
The Taylor Made 543114 is a straightforward ribbed vinyl fender, and sometimes that's exactly what you want. Four inches in diameter, sixteen inches long, finished in blue. Hang it over the rail when you're coming into the dock and it takes the bump so your gelcoat doesn't have to.
The ribbed surface adds a little grip and a little give, which helps it stay put against a piling instead of rolling away. It inflates through a needle-type valve, the same kind you'd use on a basketball, so you can dial in how firm you want it. A softer fender for a light rub, firmer for a heavier boat pushing against a fixed dock.
At this size it's a good fit for smaller boats, dinghies, and personal watercraft, or as an extra fender to fill a gap on a bigger hull. Heads up, this is a single fender, not a pair, so grab a couple if you're rigging out both sides.

Frequently asked questions
How do I inflate it?
It uses a needle-type valve, the same style you'd find on a basketball. Pop in an inflation needle, add air to the firmness you want, then pull the needle.
Is this one fender or a pair?
One. The 543114 ships as a single fender, so order two if you want to protect both sides of the boat.
What size boat is it good for?
At 4 by 16 inches it suits smaller boats, dinghies, and personal watercraft, or works as a spare fender to fill a gap on a larger hull.
What's the fender made of?
Vinyl, with a ribbed surface that adds grip against a piling or dock and a bit of give when your boat leans in.
