    Idk if the Dobinson's snorkel comes with a snorkel gasket but if it does you can always tape that to the fender and make some sharpie marks.

    Dang. Thanks! Just got my snorkel installed too lol. Got busy at work and rushed to finish my install.
    But honestly, my opinion only. Their template is trash. Most of the holes was off. My template didn’t even come with all the holes to drill to fender. I didn’t get the hole to the left of the antenna. I went ahead and pushed the template against the snorkel and was able to find the mounting hole.
    My kit only came with 5 of the studs that mounts to the fender, BUT it comes with 6 washers and nut.

    The bottom right hole was way off compared to the two holes on the left. Honestly pretty disappointed, but made it work. For $410 after shipping, I expected a more precise template. If I wanted to put this much work, I was better off going ebay.

    Snorkel I got on ebay. Performance wise I couldn't tell you the difference but its well built. Been through some fairly deep mud holes and works well. The air box that it's attached to shows no signs of water, mud or dirt intrusion. I did change the scoop for a precleaner to help in dusty conditions.

    OK. So it took 10 years but I finally got my snorkel. More for dust than water but who knows.
    I'm set for another 10 years.
