Need to identify a Taylor Made inflatable fender by size and colour? The Big B series has a rope passage running through its centre, rather than only eyelets at the ends. Compare the outside diameter, overall length and the part number from the product packaging to distinguish the white, blue and black versions.
Identify the centre-tube fender design
A line passes through the length of the body, so the fender may be hung vertically or horizontally.
Ribs help reduce rolling against a dock or alongside another boat.
A needle-type valve lets you adjust pressure; the manufacturer recommends approximately 2 psi.
Look for the central tube before matching a Big B MPN; other Taylor Made cylindrical fender series can use different attachment systems.
Taylor Made Big B identification chart
Measure the existing fender at its widest point and along its main body. For the Big B series, 1025/41025/71025 identify the 6×15-inch size; 1026/41026/71026 are 8×20 inches; and 1032/41032/71032 are 10×26 inches. The colour prefix changes the MPN but not the nominal dimensions within a group.
| Fender size | Manufacturer boat-size guide | White / blue / black part numbers |
|---|---|---|
| 6 × 15 in | 20–25 ft | 1025 (White) · 41025 (Mid-Atlantic blue) · 71025 (Black Onyx) |
| 8 × 20 in | 25–35 ft | 1026 (White) · 41026 (Mid-Atlantic blue) · 71026 (Black Onyx) |
| 10 × 26 in | 35–50 ft | 1032 (White) · 41032 (Mid-Atlantic blue) · 71032 (Black Onyx) |
Sizes are nominal diameter × length. Taylor Made’s boat-size ranges are minimum recommendations, and additional protection may be needed for exposed berths or larger vessel freeboard.
Confirm the correct replacement
Check the condition of the vinyl, inflation valve and centre rope passage. A deflated or distorted fender may measure smaller than its original size. Confirm clearance at the boat's rub rail, adjust fender height for the dock and use a suitable line through the centre tube.
The same Big B colour is offered in several sizes. Check diameter, length, rope passage and manufacturer MPN; a black 6-inch fender cannot be assumed to offer the same separation as the black 10-inch version.
