Very small circular crack ......

[RV-Dean]

I have a very small circular crack on the side of my hull, well above the water line. It is about the size of a dime. Its 12 o’clock position is at a radius turn toward a horizontal surface near the bow seats. The circular crack is not complete it starts around 8 o’clock and goes clockwise to about 4 o’clock. It is hair line thickness only. When I push on in I can see no movement anywhere or any change in the crack’s thickness. My questions is should I do something? Just keep it waxed well and keep an eye on it? Or try to seal it with something?

A picture would help but I suspect is is a minor stress crack in the gelcoat - did you hit something? Anyway there is nothing to worry about.

while docked a rude boater probably came by , threw a wake, and the boat hit a bolt head on the dock.
