Small cracks in clear coat

[Michael Bingham]

After being dropped off at the dock to get the trailer, my friend was piloting the boat and hit the rear starboard corner of my AR 240 HO on the dock. Later on (while performing deep-breathing exercises in order not to kill my friend ) I was buffing out the scuff mark caused by the collision. Regrettably, I also noticed tiny cracks around the point of impact.

There are hardly noticeable, and can be seen in certain light and angles.

My question. Is this something that I should worry about and get fixed immediately, or just chalk it up as one of life's hard knocks? Thank you for the help.

Happened to me three years ago pulling away from the dock, back end swung around and bumped the docks and cracked the clear coat. Bothered me at first. I have not gotten it repaired and no ill effects.

Frankly, from what I can see, I would have polished that out after pulling the boat that day. The fine cracks can be filled with http://www.magicezy.com/

I carry a tube and have slowly but surely gotten around to all the little annoyances with great results.
