This one's the 8-1\/2 inch by 26 inch size in Black Onyx, sized by Taylor Made for boats running 25 to 35 feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Taylor Made Super Gard fender is one of those pieces of gear you buy once and forget about, which is exactly what you want from a fender. This is the cylinder style in Black Onyx, 8-1\/2 inches across and 26 inches long. Taylor Made rates it for boats running 25 to 35 feet, so it's a good match for a mid-size cruiser, a center console, or a walkaround that spends real time at the dock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's molded from marine-grade vinyl with a smooth finish, so it wipes clean and won't scuff a light-colored hull the way a rougher surface can. The Black Onyx color hides dock grime and doesn't go chalky after a season in the sun. Hang two or three of these along the rail and your boat's protected from pilings, seawalls, and whatever's rafted up next to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInflation is the part people appreciate. There's a built-in rubber football needle valve molded right in, so you top it off with the same needle you'd use on a basketball or a football. No special pump adapter, no fighting a tiny stem. Air it up firm, check it at the start of the season, and you're set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA quick word on sizing. Fender diameter should scale with boat size and how exposed your slip is. The 8-1\/2 inch sits in the middle of the Super Gard range and covers most boats in that 25 to 35 foot window. If you keep the boat somewhere with a lot of wake or wind, size up or add an extra fender rather than under-protecting the hull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for a single fender, so order the count you actually need. It's the fender only, no line included. You'll want a fender line to hang it, and if you're not sure how many you need or what line pairs with it, give us a shout and we'll sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-1\/2 inch diameter by 26 inch length, sized by Taylor Made for boats 25 to 35 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMolded marine-grade vinyl with a smooth finish that wipes clean and won't scuff light hulls\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack Onyx color hides dock grime and resists chalking in the sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in rubber football needle valve inflates with a standard sports needle, no special pump adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCylinder shape hangs vertically off the rail against pilings, seawalls, and neighboring boats\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a single fender so you can match the count to your slip and boat length\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 is this fender for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eTaylor Made sizes the 8-1\/2 inch by 26 inch Super Gard for boats in the 25 to 35 foot range.
