Frequently Asked Questions
How do I inflate the Polyform G-4 Twin Eye Fender?
Inflate the fender using the unique Polyform valve. A fender pump with a suitable needle or a specialized Polyform valve tool is recommended for efficient inflation and deflation to achieve the desired firmness.
What is the best way to attach the Polyform G-4 Twin Eye Fender to my boat?
Utilize strong, UV-resistant dock lines (not included) passed through the reinforced ropeholds of the twin-eye design. You can orient the fender vertically or horizontally against the dock, piling, or other vessel for optimal protection.
Can the Polyform G-4 Twin Eye Fender be used in rough water conditions?
While designed for durable protection, its primary function is to cushion impacts against stationary or slow-moving objects. In very rough water, ensure proper attachment and consider additional fenders for enhanced security, as the fender itself is not designed to absorb significant wave action.

This fender is specifically recommended for boats in the 20 to 25-foot range, providing appropriate size and buoyancy for protection in common docking scenarios for this vessel class.
How durable is the Polyform G-4 Twin Eye Fender?
The fender's durability is derived from its even wall thickness and integrated molded ribs, which provide significant structural integrity and resistance to abrasion and impact, ensuring extended service life.
