    Cracked weld

    I recently discovered a cracked weld on my landau mv1650. I am wondering how big of a deal this is and if it needs to be repaired or not. The boat does not leak. The crack is under the front deck where one of the supports is welded one. There are still plenty of welds holding the support on.

    I attached a picture of the crack.
