Boat has 105 hrs always stored with cover in a covered carport. Got back on the trailer yesterday and saw a bubble behind the steering wheel in front or the gage cluste. So I touched it? popped a hole right through I looked closer and saw 3 more bubbles. I guess that’s why I talk My dealership into giving me the five year warranty to Seal the deal. Anyways check your fiberglass closely apparently they have some thin molds.

Are they going to fix or replace that?
I brought it in to them yesterday they poked around on the rest of the dash and found one more week spot. They suggested having the fiberglass guy do a repair. And I’m not sure what’s better just slapping a little repair on there and not having to pull apart the dash and cluster. Or asking that they replace the whole thing what do you think?

I would have them replace it OR remove it and have it refinished. Do not allow them to repair it while in the boat....you'll be cleaning up after them for months.
 
Unless they are really really neat.....I have yet to meet a fiberglass guy who is super neat.
 
They are scheduled to do the repairs next month so I definitely have time to clarify with them how the process is done.By the way I definitely dig the red JB.net stickers I’m gonna have to order a couple later today.
 
Regardless, be sure to take all of your life jackets off the boat before it goes in for repair. Apparently the dust from grinding gets everywhere and is very difficult to get out of life jackets...
