Hello. I realize that this stuff can take a week to fully cure but how long should i wait to put the boat back in the water? I just added trim tabs and sealed the screw holes with it, obviously will be below waterline. I put it on last night, want to take it out tommorrow if i can. Thanks

5200 is moisture/water cured, so using the boat will actually help the sealant cure faster. I wouldn't worry about taking it out.
