Comments about Big B Fenders:
I substituted the fenders for dock pillows at my dock with eye hooks as a permenant barrier between the boat and the finger. Negates needing to deploy fenders from the boat when docking.

Comments about Big B Fenders:
Purchased 4 bumpers and 1 leaked slowly from the 1st week I used the bumper and now the 2nd is also leaking. The issue here is when you need the protection they leak and provide very little protection. I think that Taylor should pay for the scuff repairs due to deflation of a new bumper!!

Comments about Big B Fenders:
Husband wanted the product in the store and I denied his purchase so it would be a Christmas. Color match is perfect and I know my husband is pleased because it was delivered in clear plastic wrap!
Service and delivery comments:
Product arrived on time, no email confirmation of order or product shipment and really, clear plastic for Christmas time deliveries? No surprise under our tree.
