Tuff End Round Fenders
Tough enough to meet the punishing demands of the commercial marine industry
Tuff End buoys feature heavy duty seamless construction to meet the punishing demands of the commercial marine industry. Favored by commercial fishermen for their durability and generous diameter, and useful in raft-ups where boats are constantly moving. Tuff End fender ends are made from injection molded vinyl tested to 2000 psi tensile strength, the strongest in the industry! Tuff Ends feature large line holes that will accept standard shackles. The curved design hole prevents chafing. Compressor or football needle valve inflation. Shipped deflated.
- Made from thick-walled marine grade vinyl for durability
- Injection molded ends for high strength
- Trivalve™ for easy inflation with football needle or compressor
- Valve located on the side of the buoy for easy inflation
- Great for larger boats or rafting!
- One year warranty

Comments about Taylor Tuff End Round Fenders:
These fenders are were less than 3 months old each time I had to replace them. Now, with the replaced fenders, 2 started leaking again, and Taylor will not replace them, said warranty was only good from original purchase, not replacement dates...

Comments about Taylor Tuff End Round Fenders:
This is the perfect fender for boats with short sides. (Ski boats, bass boats…) You get the same protection as you would with bigger more expensive fenders at a 1/3 the size. This makes storage easy, especially on smaller boats. I rate this product as an A+++

bought this fender to keep boat off dock when coming in. Very durable and strong construction. I could not fill it with a hand pump, and used a compressor with a football needle to fill it
