Taylor Made Super Gard 6.5x22 Boat Fender | 952622
Taylor Made Super Gard 6.5x22 Boat Fender | 952622 — Product description
The Taylor Made Super Gard is a smooth vinyl cylinder fender in black onyx, 6-1/2 inches by 22 inches and sized for boats from 20 to 25 feet. It's the piece that takes the dock hit so your hull doesn't, and it airs up with a standard sports needle.
The Taylor Made Super Gard is the fender you cleat off before you ever touch the dock. This one's the 6-1/2 inch by 22 inch cylinder in black onyx, sized for boats running 20 to 25 feet. Hang a pair over the rail and they take the hit so your hull doesn't.
It's a smooth-sided vinyl fender, which matters more than it sounds. Smooth vinyl wipes down with a rag and a little boat soap, and it won't chalk up your topsides the way a rough or grimy fender can. The black onyx finish hides scuffs and dock dirt too, so it still looks right at the end of a long season on the water.
Inflation is the part people tend to overthink. This fender has a built-in rubber football needle valve, so you top it off with the same needle you'd use on a basketball or a football pump. No special adapter, no fuss. Air it up firm but with a little give, hang it at the waterline where the boat actually rubs, and you're set.
Who's it for? Runabouts, center consoles, cuddies, and bowriders in that 20 to 25 foot range. The 6-1/2 inch diameter gives you enough standoff to keep a hull off a piling or a neighboring boat, and the 22 inch length covers plenty of freeboard without being so bulky it's a pain to stow in a locker. Most owners run two or three per side depending on the dock and the conditions.
A couple of honest notes. This one's sold as a single fender, so if you want a matched set, just add the quantity you need to the cart. And it doesn't come with a line, so grab fender lines separately if you don't already have them rigged. We keep those in stock and can point you to the right diameter for your cleats. Rig it right and it'll ride out plenty of seasons.

Frequently asked questions
What size boat is this fender for?
Taylor Made sizes this 6-1/2 inch by 22 inch Super Gard for boats from 20 to 25 feet. That covers most runabouts, center consoles, and bowriders in that range.
How do I inflate it?
It has a built-in rubber football needle valve, so you air it up with a standard sports inflation needle, the same kind you'd use on a basketball or football. No special adapter required. Fill it firm but leave a little give.
Does it come with a fender line?
No, this is the fender only. You'll want to add fender lines separately if you don't already have them rigged. We stock lines and can help you match the right diameter to your cleats.
Is this sold as one fender or a pair?
It's a single fender. If you want a matched set, just add the quantity you need to the cart.
How many fenders should I run?
It depends on your boat and the dock, but most owners in the 20 to 25 foot range run two or three per side. More in rough conditions or against a rough piling.
Will the black color rub off on my hull?
The smooth vinyl surface wipes clean with a rag and boat soap. Keep it rinsed and it stays clean against white topsides. The black onyx finish is chosen to hide dock grime, not transfer it.
