{"product_id":"taylor-made-5x18-ribbed-vinyl-boat-fender-black-2-pack","title":"Taylor Made 5x18 Ribbed Vinyl Boat Fender, Black 2-Pack","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eTaylor Made's 5 by 18 inch ribbed vinyl fenders come as a pack of two in black, each with a 6-foot fender line included. The ribbed surface grips pilings and spreads load, and a needle valve makes topping off the air a ten-second job. A simple, proven way to protect your hull at the dock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFenders are the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy for your hull, and these Taylor Made ribbed vinyl fenders do the job without any fuss. You get a pack of two, each one 5 inches across and 18 inches long, finished in black so dock scuffs and tire marks don't show. Hang them over the rail when you pull into the slip and they take the hit instead of your gelcoat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ribbed surface is the part people notice. Those raised ridges give the fender a little grip against a piling or a neighboring boat, and they help spread out the load when you're rafted up or riding a wake in a crowded marina. It's a round center-rope style fender, so it hangs vertically along the topsides. Simple, proven, and it's been protecting boats this way for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach fender inflates through a needle-type valve. That's the same needle you'd use to pump up a basketball, so topping off the firmness takes about ten seconds with a hand pump or a shop compressor. Keep them firm but not rock hard. A little give is what absorbs the shock. Over a season they'll lose a bit of air, and it's an easy fix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's the part we like: Taylor Made includes a 6-foot black fender line with each one, so you're not making a second trip to the store for rope. Tie them off to a cleat or a rail and you're set. Two fenders, two lines, ready to go out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho are these for? Think runabouts, center consoles, and smaller cruisers, roughly the 20 to 28 foot range as a rule of thumb. Bigger boats and heavier hulls want a larger fender. But for a lot of trailer boats and weekend cruisers, a 5 by 18 is right in the sweet spot for docking, rafting, and fuel-dock stops. Taylor Made has built marine gear in New York for generations, and their fenders are the kind of thing you buy once and forget about.\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 runabouts, center consoles, and smaller cruisers in the 20 to 28 foot range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRibbed vinyl construction grips pilings and neighboring hulls and shrugs off dock scuffs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRound center-rope design hangs vertically along the topsides\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeedle-type inflation valve lets you top off firmness in seconds with a standard pump needle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes a 6-foot black fender line with each fender, ready to hang out of the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a pack of two, enough to cover both sides or bow and stern\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish hides scuffs and tire marks from the dock\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 boat are these fenders for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eAs a rule of thumb, a 5 inch by 18 inch fender suits runabouts, center consoles, and smaller cruisers roughly in the 20 to 28 foot range.
