I ordered 2. The material arrived as one long piece. I had to cut it to length. Not a big deal when you consider the savings.
I would imagine you could call & ask for whatever length you need.

No. It's not made for a yamaha! But you can replace it 5 times b4 you cover the cost of an OEM.
I've replaced the hood seal 2 times in seven years. It still makes good sense to go watcon.
It's not the same and it's not perfect. It's an alternative to the silly OEM price.

For the price, I'll be happy if it comes anywhere close.

There's no denying OEM is the best. It just costs too damn much.
This seal, so far, has kept the water out. That's it's job. It's doing fine so far.
I'll let ya know how long it lasts. Cause that's what it's gonna boil down to.

running stiff pole? that can make the front of the hood opening sag like the sn's do
if everything is lined up,the ski is not warped from running stiff pole and the seal is installed properly the stock seal will not leak.
