Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this Taylor Made black V-shaped Freedom Fender for the 70 foot to 100 foot long boats. Now this V-shaped heavy-duty PVC inflatable fender will offer maximum durability as it protects your boat's hull from any bumps or scratches. We mentioned the V-shape design to it, conforms to any docks or pilings to keep the fender from rolling out of place. And this fender can be deployed horizontally, like it is here, or vertically like this. Now it does protect from impact with pier pilings when it's deployed horizontally in this position.

And when it's put in the vertical position will cushion any impact with docks or mooring buoys. It is a lightweight 40-ounce PVC construction, which is more durable and corrosion resistant than rubber or vinyl, and it is reinforced with 60-ounce PVC to ensure ultimate protection. And this does have a nice protective coating over the whole fender to resist oil damage. Weight on this is only about 4 pounds. Now the line straps you can see right here, you just zoom in here, you can see these line straps are on one side of the fender here and also on the end.

And that means you can deploy it either horizontally or vertically. And these line straps are a 2-inch-wide nylon webbing. And what's nice about it, if you notice these straps will fold down to allow the fender to fit standard storage racks. Now this does use welded seams, which are stronger than glued or sewn seams. There's no chipped glue or unwinding threads, and it is very easy to inflate.

You can add air right on this end here, if you notice, has this cap, that if you turn this and remove it and it's tethered so you don't lose it, there's your valve right here. Uses a needle valve design for easy inflation. You just hook up to either hand pump or an air compressor and pump the air into it. Very easy to inflate and deflating it, it'll deflate in seconds for a quick, easy storage and just roll it up, put it in storage. And then put your cover back on there and twist it and lock it into place.

It has a nice black color, it is made in the USA. Application, again, this is 70 foot to 100 foot long boats.
