Taylor Made Hull Gard Inflatable Fender, Black 6.5x23
Taylor Made Hull Gard Inflatable Fender, Black 6.5x23 — Product description
The Taylor Made Hull Gard is an inflatable vinyl fender sized for boats from 20 to 25 feet. It's 6-1/2 inches across and 23 inches long, in smooth black vinyl that wipes clean and hides dock marks. Ships pre-inflated with a valve so you can dial in the cushion, and it's ready to hang off the rail the day it arrives.
When you're bringing a boat into the dock, the fender is what stands between your hull and a scuffed gelcoat. The Taylor Made Hull Gard is an inflatable vinyl fender built for that job. It measures 6-1/2 inches in diameter and 23 inches long, sized for boats in the 20 to 25 foot range. That's your typical center console, bowrider, or cuddy cabin.
The body is smooth black vinyl. A smooth finish wipes down easy after a season of rubbing against pilings and grime, and black hides dock marks better than white ever will. It ships pre-inflated, so it's ready to hang the day it shows up. There's an inflation valve built in, which means you can top off the air pressure or soften it up depending on how much cushion you want between the hull and the dock.
Hang it vertically off a cleat or a rail with a fender line. On a 20 to 25 foot boat, most folks run two or three of these per side depending on the dock and the chop. In a slip with fixed pilings, you'll want them low enough to catch the widest part of the hull. Rafting up with friends for the weekend? Same fender, hung between the two boats, keeps the rub rails from grinding.
This is the cylinder style, the classic fender shape you see on just about every boat at the marina. One fender per package. It's a single, so if you're rigging out a whole boat, order the count you need for both sides.
Taylor Made has been building marine gear for decades, and their fenders are a staple on the water for a reason. They hold air, they take abuse, and they don't crack in the sun the way cheap vinyl does. Give it a rinse now and then and it'll ride on the rail season after season. If you own a boat in that 20 to 25 foot window and you dock it regularly, this is the size that fits.
