Polyform HTM-2 Fender 8.5" x 20.5" - Black

The Polyform HTM-2 Fender 8.5" x 20.5" in Black is a hole-through-middle boat fender built to protect your vessel from dock impacts, pilings, and other boats during tie-ups and mooring. After years on the water, you know that a quality fender is non-negotiable—it absorbs shock, reduces noise, and extends the life of your hull, railings, and gelcoat. This Polyform design is engineered for recreational cruisers, fishing boats, and commercial vessels where reliable, maintenance-free protection matters.

Constructed with Polyform's proven reinforced tube design, the HTM-2 features vertical ribs along its length to distribute impact energy and resist chafing from rough surfaces. The reinforced end caps prevent crushing and splitting, while the hole-through-middle configuration allows for secure rope attachment and dual-rope rigging for maximum stability. At 8.5 inches in diameter and 20.5 inches long, this mid-size fender suits boats from 25 to 35 feet and handles standard fender hardware and bridle setups without modification. The black UV-resistant synthetic material resists sun damage and saltwater degradation over years of continuous use.

This fender works equally well for anglers navigating tight marina slips, cruisers making frequent dock stops, and commercial operators in high-traffic waterways. The 4.9-pound weight makes it easy to deploy and position without excessive lifting, yet the robust construction withstands repeated compression and abrasion. Whether you're running saltwater or freshwater, docking in rough seas or glassy conditions, the Polyform HTM-2 delivers silent, effective hull protection—no squealing, no slipping, no regrets.
