3 of 4 Fenders Great; 1 with Pinhole Leak
These fenders appear to perform as advertised. Have had them in service for a few weeks and held up well during a couple of storms. The only downside is that one arrived with a pinhole leak. Therefore I knocked the rating down a star given that I had to repair it. Plugged the leak using plumber's two-part PVC bonding product (primer and cement). This repair requires a little more effort than simply applying each component to the surface. You need to get the components into the hole. Without attaching the inflation needle to the pump, insert it into the filler valve. Using your mouth on the threads of the inflation needle, suck air out of the fender as you apply each component to the pinhole. This will draw the components into the pinhole and give you a much better result. Let the repair rest for 24 hours before full inflation.

Promptly returned
The item arrived on time and it was well packaged. However, the pump that was included did not work with the needles they sent. The needles had threads (the part you screw into the pump) and the pump did not. In other words, the pump is useless. I managed to hold onto the needle with one hand, the fender between my legs and hold the pump over the needle. It took forever to pump up the fender but I managed to do it. The first one was fine. The second one, however, would not hold air. I gave up, deflated the one that was ok and put them back in the box. It was way too much frustration to deal with when there are a gazillion other vendors that sell the same thing.

Three of four fenders worked fine. 4th leaks and won't inflate
Price is good for the set of 4 fenders and lines. However, only three of the four fenders would inflate. The fourth fender's valve leaked rendering the 4th fender useless. I did not go after a return / exchange so it unknown whether the vendor would come through with a replacement. Fender construction and quality appears to be similar to other commercial fenders.

Great durable bumpers, a little bigger than expected!
These bumpers are great. I am using them on a 2020 Yamaha 195S. They don’t fit “perfectly” because of the same of the Yamaha but If you make sure to hang them just right they are fine.They are a touch bigger than I expected. Although, the images I think make them seem smaller just know these are robust. The durability is great as well and my boating friends are actually a big envious.

Quality fender comparable to brand name.
These are well made, durable fenders that are of similar quality to other brand name fenders. We have a 60' boat and use these along a floating dock to protect the boat. They work great and are available at a reasonable cost.

Exactly what I was looking for!
These bumpers look great, match the color scheme on our pontoon, and, more importantly, work as I need them to. While out on our boat, we may run into up to 5 or 6 friends on their boats and will all tie together and visit for a while. The bumpers have been tried and found perfect for our needs! Great product so far!

Easy to inflate, attached lines are good quality, rubber feels thick
They feel like thick rubber. The lines have a proper loop at one end. Came with pump and four needles. Took me less than 10 minutes to inflate all four. 50-60 pumps each (yes I counted). I'll update this review if I experience any leaks or issues but if not, these are PERFECT.

Decent fenders for the money...
first off - inflating...don't use the pump provided, it was painful and would have taken forever, fortunately I had a battery powered pump and it inflated them in minutes. Once inflated, they fenders are solid and nicely constructed. I haven't used them yet but I expect they will work just fine when the boat goes back in the water. I'd buy them again. Been inflated for a couple weeks and have not lost air.

Make sure it doesn't leak air before using and leaving to protect your boat.
Great price for 4 units with rope and pump. Unfortunately 2 out 4 leaks air. One I was able to patch but the second seems to be leaking where you insert the pump pin. It's a very windy and rough water weekend so the 3 units will get a workout to test out their durability. Maybe next time I stick to buying these at my local marine store.

No Leaks. Good Construction
Received them quickly. Filled them with air. Yes the pump is cheap feeling so I wasn't rough with it. Worked fine. Not really boating season here in Manitoba but let my 4 year old jump, roll, throw and generally abuse them with no loss of air after 3 days. She loves them to bounce off. Now if i can get them away from her by summer....

seems heavy duty
Everything well pkg'd. Got the larger ones, they are just right. Comes with lines and inflator with spare needles. I let them warm a bit and filled them, they do seem very heavy duty.

FAULTY PRODUCT / SELLER WONT RESPOND TO EMAILS ** DO NOT BUY **
We received our boat bumpers and 1 did not hold any air. Emailed the seller, he asked for a photo. Photo was sent (there isn't anything to prove in photos. No holes just will not hold air, my guess is a faulty seam or valve. Also sent 3 follow up emails and the seller WILL NOT respond to me now. Extremely poor customer service * DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SCAMMER *
