My helmsman seat on my 2003 Hunter 356 has cracked on the side.Can anyone tell me the best way to repair it.Hunter says it isnt their problem.I would like to make the crack as invisible as possible.I dont know much about glass or glass repair. Thanks

Is the crack in the gelcoat or all the way through the fiberglass mat?

I'll try to take a picture this weekend

It hard to describe.There is the a thin side to the helmsman seat.When you flip it up to make the seat,it is the side of the seat.It is cracked all the way through.

it isn't there problem ?

I'm not sure I would settle on that answer. Unless the crack was caused by abuse or an accident I would think it would come under the 5 year warrenty.Have you tried the factory rep or just your local dealer? Any idea what caused the crack ? At any rate there are lots of books on fiberglass repair and lots of good trades poeple who can fix fiberglass.

There was no abuse or accident

I got an email from Don Martin from Hunter who told me that the only thing covered by the 5 year warranty was the hull bottom.But that has been par for the course with the customer service I have gotten from Hunter.It took 2 years just for me to get any warranty issues resolved.I sent an email back to Don thanking him and Hunter for the seat making it almost 2 years. I know alot of you love your boats and think Hunter is a stand up company but my experience has been anything but and I can say with certainty that the next boat I buy and I will buy a bigger boat,it will not be a Hunter.In addition,I will never recommend a Hunter to anyone.(I was taught if I cant say something nice,dont say nothing,so thats what I will probably do)Thanks for the response.
