    I bought these for my ski boat which has the Perko fender clips. My ski boat has a longer than normal gunwall, so the 90 deg curve on the bumper works perfect in protecting my boat.

    However my freeboard at the stern of the boat is very low (~5"), so the fender ends up in the water. Because there is so much bumper that hits the water it ends up floating, kicking the bumper out to the side, or even completely dislodging it from my Perko clips, it doesn't protect nearly as well as the front. If they made one a bit shorter I would have rated this the best bumper for my boat.

    I purchased 8 of these last year for a total cost of around $200 and installed them on the sides of our pontoon boat. I went to air them up this spring, 2 had small holes in them and 1 other had a loose air valve. As a result these 3 would not hold air and function as they should. 3 out of 8 fail in less than a year for [$] a bumper cost is not acceptable and shouldn't have happenned. Keith

              The low free board style fender does exactly what it was designed to do and that is to protect the gelcoat and rub rail of your expensive bassboat from damage by docks or adjacent boats. Quality is outstanding and price is very reasonable.

                        What kind of warranty do Taylor Made bumpers have?

                          Vinyl fenders have a limited lifetime warranty through Taylormade, Overton's can handle the warranty within the first year then afterwards you should go directly through Taylormade Products.

                          You can, but not sure how well it would work for you. These are designed for use with fender line. I would recommend our dock fenders (item 73613) which are the same price and should work better for what you are trying to do.

                      • Q:

                        I have a 21' runabout for which I need fenders and lines. I have seen and used the Taylor Made (or similar design) low freeboard fenders and they seem to work well. These as well as the Dockmate ones get good reveiws. My qeustion regarding all of them is, what is the "inflatable" all about? I have had fenders in the past that were sealed and non-inflatable. Once they are inflated, do they stay inflated? How does one inflate them; using a pump like for bicycle tires and balls?
                        THANKS for your help with this. -leo

                          Leo - The fenders have a small inflation valve like any of your sports balls (soccer, football, basketball). You can inflate them with a standard sports needle and any type of pump. The inflation allows you to adjust the amount of cushion the fender provides and adjust the pressure over time. They do stay inflated but like anything that is exposed to varying temperatures the pressure will need to be adjusted periodically.
