Need Opinions: Cracks in gelcoat

[jlcj7]

I bought my boat new in late 2011. About 1 year later i noticed a couple small spider cracks in the gelcoat. They seem to have not changed at all since then, but i am looking for some opinions on them... What can cause this? Is it something i should get fixed right away or wait? Also, this isnt something that would be covered under the warranty would it?

Take a look at my pics: (1st and 2nd pics is the same spot, one close, and the 3rd and forth is opposite side one close and one normal) Overall if i was to measure, both are about 1/2 in or so long

I'll be honest....I chuckled when I saw the pictures. I was expecting to see much worse. Those are all very repairable. With the exception of the one that has a bit of a gap, I'd not worry about them. You can mix up a bit of gel coat and wipe it into the crevice after making sure the spots in question are very clean and dry. Use acetone to clean them. Make sure no wax is present or it won't bond well.
Let it dry completely and then buff it out. After a few days polish and wax as you normally would.
