spider cracks

Is there an easy way to take care of spider cracks?

no

You beat me to it so I'll say....probably not!!

Train your eyes to not see them... http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/doh.gif

You can try to fix them, but in most cases they will just reappear. The gelcoat is a hard material that will eventually spider crack around high stress areas. The fiberglass flexes and over time, causes the spider cracks. If you fix them, they will only re-appear, unless you can stop the flexing. But, boats are made to flex under loads.

I think most boats develop these over time. Treat them as battle scars.
