Got the SX240 out of winter storage and noticed a small tear about 1.5 to 2 inches in the mooring cover.

Has anyone had good success with a product to repair a small tear like this?

Sewing on a patch will work. Cadet grey may be the color. A canvas worker patched our 07 mooring cover that had a hole in it. She did it for free, as we had her make our Bimini, bow and cockpit covers back 8 years ago. That patch would be easy. You should see the repair to a 20 yo Bimini that my wife is patching and reinstalling fasteners for an antique CrisCraft.

I know of no iron on or spray on product to fix this.

Iron on farbic patches (deim.twill) in Black, cut them round (to prevent the edges frpm peeling) bigger than the area and put one on the outside and one on the inside - works like a charm on bimini tops too, never had one come off.
Amazon maybe $4.

I used this product and it worked pretty good. I dind't sew it on but just cut two pieces and glued them together with the mooring cover in between if that makes sense.

I used gorilla tape in and out to get me through a season and to a new cover. Wouldn't bill it as a permanent repair, but it will keep it from getting worse and will hold a while.

I used Gorilla tape as well and it has held up a couple seasons. It's super thick and sticky, not like duct tape. I put it on the inside and outside and the only issue I had was some of the glue getting on the gel coat. Bought a new cover so won't have that issue anymore.
