Polyform HTM-3 Fender 10.5" x 27" - White w/Adapter

The Polyform HTM-3 Fender 10.5" x 27" – White with Adapter is the workhorse protection system that every serious boater should have aboard. Whether you're docking a center console, tying off at a busy marina, or pulling alongside another vessel, this fender shields your hull from impacts, scratches, and costly damage. Built by Polyform U.S., a name trusted across commercial and recreational fleets, the HTM-3 delivers reliable cushioning for boats in the 25–35 foot range and handles the demands of saltwater and freshwater environments alike.

This 10.5-inch by 27-inch cylindrical fender combines closed-cell foam construction with UV-resistant white vinyl that resists fading and weathering—critical for gear left exposed to sun and spray. The included adapter hardware simplifies mounting to standard fender lines and permits quick repositioning as sea state and docking angle change. At 7.4 pounds, the HTM-3 is substantial enough to absorb dock collision energy without being so heavy that it strains fender hooks or rigging; the design ensures full flotation in the unlikely event of accidental overboard deployment. Polyform's engineering accounts for repeated compression cycles—the foam maintains its cushioning integrity after hundreds of dockings.

Commercial operators, charter captains, and private owners who log serious hours on the water standardize on Polyform fenders because downtime and repair bills are far more expensive than preventive protection. The HTM-3's dimensions make it ideal for twin deployment on express cruisers or as primary fender protection on sportfish platforms. Installation is straightforward—attach the adapter to your existing fender line using existing cleats or rail hardware, then hang the fender and adjust height so it sits midway up the hull and clears any through-hulls or transducers. For maximum longevity, rinse with fresh water after saltwater use and stow out of direct sun during long idle periods.
