Polyform A-3 Buoy 17" Diameter - Grey

The Polyform A-3 Buoy 17" Diameter in Grey is the industry standard for marking moorings, gear, and navigation hazards in coastal and inland waters. Born from decades of proven performance, this all-purpose buoy has become the trusted choice for commercial fishermen, recreational boaters, and marine operations worldwide. Whether you're marking lobster pots in heavy Atlantic swells or anchoring navigation lines in working harbors, the A-3 delivers the visibility and durability needed when conditions turn rough.

Constructed from durable, UV-resistant plastic, the Polyform A-3 features the signature "blue ropehold"—an integrated eye designed to secure lines without slipping or fouling. At 17 inches in diameter and weighing just 6.9 pounds, this buoy delivers superior buoyancy while remaining manageable for single-hand handling from deck or dory. The grey coloring provides excellent visibility against open water and maintains color integrity through seasons of sun exposure, salt spray, and temperature cycling. The spherical design minimizes drag in currents and waves, reducing spin and ensuring consistent marking position.

Commercial and recreational users favor the A-3 for applications requiring a mid-sized, highly visible buoy that won't flip or roll in moderate to heavy seas. It pairs seamlessly with standard mooring chains, anchor lines, and marine rope sizes typical in working waterfronts. The buoy's proven track record in adverse conditions makes it ideal for permanent moorings, temporary markers, and emergency flotation needs. Anglers and charter captains rely on the A-3's consistent performance season after season, making it one of the most cost-effective investments for any serious boating operation.
