I took off my old trolling motor to install a new one yesterday and there is an outline of the trolling motor pattern on the boat top cap. What concerns me is in the middle portion of that pattern the gel coat looked cracked and almost dried out a bit. I installed the new trolling motor already but the old one sat flush and the new one needs spacers so there will be a gap underneath it. I'm assuming the only way to fix that whole area is to sand it all down and reglass as the pattern is dug into the gel coat. Should I be concerned about that area?
