It's a handy, low-cost fender for small boats, dinghies, and personal watercraft when you're tying up at the dock or rafting alongside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery boat needs a few fenders aboard, and this Taylor Made BoatGuard is about as simple as they come. It's a round, ribbed vinyl fender that measures 5 inches in diameter by 18 inches long. Small enough to stow in a locker, big enough to keep the topsides of a dinghy, jon boat, or PWC off a piling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ribbed surface does two things. It adds grip against a dock so the fender doesn't slide around, and the raised ribs take the scuffs instead of your gelcoat. Blue vinyl hides marks well and holds up to sun and spray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInflation is done through a needle-type valve, the same kind you'd use on a basketball. Grab a needle and a hand pump, top it off to a firm-but-not-rock-hard feel, and you're set. That valve also makes it easy to let a little air out for off-season storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is sold as a single fender. For most small boats you'll want two or three along the working side, so plan accordingly. It's an honest, no-frills fender that does the job without costing much.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5 inch diameter by 18 inch length, sized for small boats, dinghies, and personal watercraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRibbed round profile grips the dock and takes the scuffs so your hull doesn't\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTough vinyl construction stands up to sun, spray, and dockside contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeedle-type inflation valve works with a standard ball needle and hand pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlue color hides marks and scuffs from everyday use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a single fender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Taylor Made reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat size is this fender?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's a round fender measuring 5 inches in diameter by 18 inches long, a good size for small boats, dinghies, and personal watercraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow do I inflate it?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt uses a needle-type valve, the same style found on a basketball.
