Spider Cracks in Fiberglass

Danishgod

I recently opened up my 2014 236 BR from the Winter and noticed that there were several minor spider cracks on the deck.  A few questions for the members of this forum - what generally causes these and what would cause me to be concerned?  Thanks for your comments.

I agree
also anytime you have a mourning or screw point eventually it will start to spider

It depends on where these spider cracks are occurring.  Usually they pop up from stress on the fiberglass - like on a mooring cleat that does not have sufficient backing from underneath the deck.  Handrails are another place that may get them by people pulling on them to maintain their balance.  Another thing that can cause them is a heavy blow from an object falling on the fiberglass.
