Properly cleaned and prepared, gelcoat will be just fine. That doesn't look too deep so I don't think you need much more than gelcoat to do it. I'd put a jack under it and lift it off the trailer maybe 6" and mix up some gelcoat with some West System 404 to thicken it up. Spread it on with a...

You can use a Neso tent and two adjustable poles from Amazon to make this for under $200.

I figured. Got any pictures of them?

Curious what you replaced them with?

Great info - I assumed the thru-hull bronze fitting was intake not discharge, but that would certainly answer the "how does it get out" question. Thank you

Thanks for all the great information Andy! I enjoy your youtube channel as well - tons of great info. Whats the best way to check if the holding tank is empty or not? I'd like to try to flush it with clean water right in the boatyard and pump it into some 5 gal buckets I can take home and flush...

I've never used the head on my 2013 2520XLD but it was pretty clear the previous owner did, probably a lot judging by the stains on the floor around it. So here's the question: even though it doesn't smell bad, how do I make sure the tank is empty and cleaned out (and that everything still...

You mentioned your dealer installed a new door on your 2520, what did they do with the old door? I am looking for one for my 2520. If they didn't leave it with you, can you let me know the dealer's name so I can give em a call and see if they still have it?

I'm with you on the Jescar sealant - I polished my 2520 in April and sealed it with Jescar - 6 months later it still shines like new and beads water great. I found out about it from Drake's Detailing on Youtube and haven't regretted it.

The Yamaha gauge said consumption at 5000 rpm (that's just when I happened to check it) was around 17.1 gph - that's not too far off from the 300's consumption according to this performance report...

I don't know just yet. The 350 doesn't have the speed pickup hole in it (the "Pitot" tube as it's called) so I have to wire my GPS to the Yamaha gauge in order to get speed and fuel consumption.

I've ridden on a few 2520 XLDs with the Suzuki DP 350 and it is a great setup - perfect power in my opinion and DP is just awesome out of the hole. I have a 2013 2520 XLD now and had the Yamaha F300 that was a good engine but it took a while to get on plane and in a decent following sea was a...

If you have a Yamaha 350 on your 2520 XLD, I'd like to hear what you think of it.

Have you considered repowering with a newer Yamaha 350? I know they stopped making them but there are newer generation 350s out there for sale. Wondering how you liked that engine in general on your 2520?

Dave do you still have that seat for sale?
