Common Concerns Answered
Is it difficult to inflate these fenders to the correct pressure?
While the molded-in valve is designed for ease of use, achieving optimal 2 psi may require a specialized fender inflator or careful technique to avoid over-inflation. This ensures maximum protection and longevity.
How long will these fenders last in intense sunlight?
The high-gloss finish offers good UV resistance, but like all vinyl products, prolonged exposure to extreme UV radiation can eventually contribute to degradation. Proper storage when not in use can extend service life.
Is the price justified compared to other fenders?
The Super Gard™ fender's premium features, including its seamless construction, high-gloss finish, and lifetime warranty against splitting or bursting, represent a significant investment in long-term hull protection and aesthetics that distinguishes it from lower-priced alternatives.
