Looks like scratches to me, too. Most stress cracks that I have seen spider much more than yours. I would bet it is getting scratched from your steering hoses rubbing over and over again on the same spot. Here is a picture of a stress crack. God Bless, Stephen

It is easy to back the boat into some tree branches when fishing.

other previous picture looks like scratches and gouges….. If you look closely I can see 3 or 4 spider cracks in the clear to the right and upper of the main crack

I am probably way off but from looking at those on my phone Id say you can rub those down or out over a month or so of work off and on. to me thats one of the beauties of glass- its workable to perfection often.C.O.D. Jr. III

Looks like scratches to me, but even if they are stress fractures you dont have to worry about the transom going anywhere ! Bass Cat has the strongest in the industry, and a lifetime warranty to go with them ! D.

what might be stress cracks in the gel coat clear still do not in any way appear to be anything more then coating cracks. I personally would run it without even a thought……Not seeing it up close only from the pictures of course but that is minimal to say the least….

Try a little 3M rubbing compound by hand. That should help get them out if the are superficial.

They dont look like stress fractures. And they are small on the one image. The other image is definitely a scratch. The other could be a very small fracture. Though we cant tell from the image.

If you have a local dealer, drop by there and let them take a look. On a 200 Pantera Classic it would depend on the area and what caused the cracks to develop. If you do not have a local dealer, then you can e-mail images to [email protected] for their opinion. Though they were out for a week and we dont know the overload while they were gone. BCB
