I was washing the boat and saw this lines under the ski tower. I am not sure if it is stress crack or from temp difference? Only on the side where the sun is beating on. If it is stress crack, not sure whether it is from skiing last year, or hurricane while it was on the lift the whole time, or one side was not secured while cruising. I always tube from the back handle.

Questions, What would be the proper way to repair it? Is it concerning? If repair, should I enforce this? would it present structure issue if I am not towing anything for the rest of the season, try to see I can wait until the end of season.

Thanks!

Quick YouTube search and I found this video:

Stress crack repair

I’m sure there’s plenty more, but I like how this guy used a dremel to make the cracks bigger to let the gel coat actually repair it better!
