Taylor Made Aurora Gold Pontoon Fender 9x16 | 31037
Taylor Made Aurora Gold Pontoon Fender 9x16 | 31037 — Product description
The Taylor Made Aurora Gold pontoon fender hangs right off your rail and keeps the dock from chewing up your logs and deck. Ribbed vinyl, 9 by 16 inches, with a molded-in ridge hook that catches the pontoon fence rail without any extra hardware.
If you run a pontoon, you already know standard round fenders are a pain out there. They roll, they spin sideways, and half the time they drift to the wrong spot before you're even tied off. This Taylor Made fender is built for the way a pontoon actually sits against a dock. The molded-in ridge hook catches the top rail of your fence, so it hangs flat and stays where you hung it.
The body is ribbed vinyl in Aurora Gold, and those ribs aren't just for looks. They flex on contact and spread the load, so a hard bump against a piling or a concrete dock edge gets absorbed instead of punching straight through to your pontoon skin. At 9 inches wide and 16 inches long, it covers a good stretch of rail without hogging the whole side of the boat.
Inflation runs through an integrated rubber football-style valve. Pop it open, add air with a hand pump or your own lungs, then close it back up. There's no separate valve stem to lose and no adapter to hunt for in the console. Storing the boat for winter or trailering it home? Let some air out and it packs down easy.
This one ships as a single fender. Most pontoon owners run two or three per side depending on slip and dock height, so measure your coverage and order the count you need. The Aurora Gold finish pairs with gold or tan rail and furniture accents if you're matching a look. It isn't the right pick if you want a hanging round ball fender or a transom setup. This is a rail-hung pontoon piece, plain and simple.
Give it a rinse when you pull the boat and it'll keep its color season after season. Vinyl this thick shrugs off UV and the odd scuff, and the ridged surface hides the marks a smooth fender would show. It's simple gear that does one job well.

Frequently asked questions
How does this fender hang on a pontoon?
It has a molded-in ridge hook that catches the top rail of your pontoon fence. No brackets, no line to tie, it just hooks over and hangs flat against the side.
Is this sold as one fender or a pair?
It ships as a single fender. Most pontoon owners run two or three per side depending on slip and dock height, so figure your coverage and order the count you need.
How do I inflate it?
Through the integrated rubber football-style valve. Pop it open, add air with a hand pump or by mouth, then push it closed. There's no separate stem or adapter to deal with.
What are the dimensions?
It measures 9 inches wide by 16 inches long, sized to cover a good stretch of pontoon rail without taking over the whole side.
Can I deflate it for storage?
Yes. The football valve lets you bleed air out so the fender packs down flat for winter storage or trailering, then airs right back up next season.
Will Aurora Gold match my boat?
Aurora Gold is a warm gold and tan tone. It pairs well with gold or tan rail accents and furniture. If your trim is a different color, it'll still do the job, it just won't blend in as cleanly.
