Has anyone attempted to repair cracks in the dash? Or is this something the dealer must do.
I have several spider cracks around the throttle assembly and at other places.

Pretty common on many express cruisers. They are just cosmetic and will cause no
structural issues. Most people I have met just live with them.

I have them on the dash, around where the bimini top bolts on, one at the anchor locker door hinge.

Gives me the red ass to look at them. However, the cost of fixing the issue quickly throws water on it. The quote I got was thousands of dollars and absolutely no guarantee that they wouldn't be back next season.

I've heard they will always come back. I had a few on my Sea Ray and just lived with it.
