Polyform HTM-4 Fender 13.5" x 34.8" - White w/Adapter

The Polyform HTM-4 Fender 13.5" x 34.8" in white with adapter is a professional-grade boat fender designed for serious cruisers, commercial operators, and anglers who demand reliable dock protection. Built to the exacting Polyform standard, this hole-through-middle (HTM) fender provides comprehensive hull protection across a wide range of vessel sizes and mooring conditions. Whether you're running a charter boat, cruising coastal waters, or anchoring in tight quarters, this fender absorbs impact energy and shields your hull from damage during docking and raft-up scenarios.

The HTM-4 features vertical ribs molded into its surface, which significantly increase structural rigidity and distribute lateral loads more effectively than smooth-sided alternatives. At 13.5 inches in diameter and 34.8 inches tall, this fender offers substantial surface area for hull contact while remaining manageable for single-person deployment on moderate to larger vessels. The included adapter makes rigging straightforward—simply pass your fender line through the center hole and secure to your stanchions, rails, or cleats. Constructed from durable, UV-resistant material, the white finish maintains visibility and reflects heat, extending service life in sun-exposed environments.

This size works best on boats in the 35–55-foot range, though many operators deploy multiple HTM-4 units for extra protection during commercial operations or when navigating congested anchorages. The fender's 10.5-pound weight is substantial enough to stay in position under modest sea state while remaining light enough for easy rigging and stowage. Installation requires only a fender line rated for your vessel's beam weight; standard double-braided nylon works reliably. Anglers and boaters who frequently navigate unfamiliar docks, operate in crowded harbors, or run charter services consistently choose Polyform fenders for their proven performance and minimal maintenance requirements.
