Winterized a buddies 2012 a20 today, could not believe how much easier it was to work on. The engine bay is a good foot longer than my vtx. Oil filter and distributor cap are easy to get to. Impeller easier to get at. Oil drain hose is 6" too short for the transom drain, but was fine with the extractor. Also love the center rear seat that pulls back revealing the step. Only bummer about the whole boat is the tower which folds oddly.

DD are even easier! :biggrin:

Not really.  I think that my inlaws response is the biggest pain of the bunch to work on.  Seems counter intuitive but you have the big cover in the way, it has a belt drive impeller pump and it is much harder to get at the plugs and drain points since the floor runs so close to the engine.  Hose and distributor access are great though.
