As I was sweeping the snow off my boat last week I noticed a couple very small hairline cracks in the foredeck. They look almost like a small spiderweb. What do you recommend?

Not much

Hairlines happen, sometimes from stress and sometimes from age. Just look in the mirror.

Cover your boat

Snow melts, water seeps into any opening and expands when it refreezes, hence the cracks. This is the same method used to quarry rock: drill holes, fill with water, let it freeze and voila - cracks. I never had this problem in Miami! Glenn WindWisp

crack repair

I just asked Hunter Service the same question. Courtesy of Greg Emerson: "The cracks that you see are cosmetic and not really a short term problem but more of an eye sore. Long term however it would be best to have them repaired by using a drimmel tool and opening them up and re-fiber glassing them. After that they would of course then need to be patched and finished." I have quite a few to repair.
