Polyform HTM-3 Fender 10.5" x 27" - Black

The Polyform HTM-3 Fender 10.5" x 27" in Black is a hole-through-middle boat fender engineered to deliver maximum protection across a wide range of mooring and docking applications. Designed by Polyform U.S., a manufacturer with a long-established reputation for quality marine fenders, the HTM-3 combines proven protective geometry with reinforced construction to handle the demands of serious boaters, commercial operators, and weekend anglers alike.

The HTM-3's design incorporates vertical ribs that distribute impact loads and provide enhanced side-to-side stability when fenders compress against dock pilings or other vessels. Reinforced tube ends prevent mooring lines from pulling through under load if the fender becomes wedged in a tight spot—a real-world concern in crowded marinas or rough anchorages. The extra wall thickness resists punctures and tears from sharp cleats, rusty hardware, and dock wear, extending the fender's service life in demanding environments. At 10.5 inches in diameter and 27 inches in length, this mid-size fender suits vessels from approximately 25 to 40 feet, offering the balance between buoyancy, impact absorption, and deck space that most cruising and fishing boats require.

This fender is ideal for boat owners who rely on their vessel in variable conditions—those who dock frequently, anchor in shallow bays, or operate in areas with strong tidal flow. The hole-through-middle design simplifies rigging: a single line threaded through the core allows secure positioning without separate attachment hardware. The black finish resists UV degradation and blends with most modern boat topsides, maintaining appearance over multiple seasons of use. Whether protecting a fishing platform from fuel dock bumps or securing a cruiser in a tight anchorage, the HTM-3 is a dependable choice for serious boat owners who understand that proper fender protection is preventive maintenance.
