    Deck Drain Crack(s)

    Noticed small cracks around middle floor drain on 2021 Z19. Really not losing sleep over it, wondering if I should be concerned to the point of getting it repaired? The floor feels solid. Thoughts?

    My guess is, that those are cracks in the gelcoat that are results of how they created that hole. I am guessing that they used a hole saw to make that hole and those are superficial cracks that were created by chipping gelcoat from the hole saw. Orrrrr they are from the screws.....since they are symmetrically formed around the hole in the same proximity from each of the screws.
    That being said, I would check into what your warranty (I am assuming that you are owner #1?) says about gelcoat cracking. I am OCD and that would bother me.

    Imagine that is pretty common, Don't think warranty would cover it especially on a 2021

    Agree with above. Superficial gelcoat cracks and nothing to be worried about. You could easily do a simple repair on this yourself. BoatUS has a great primer video on how to do this type of repair. .

    Unfortunately you can't get under the mat to see how far they go. I would Let your dealer know about it, so it can be documented. Keep the email on file for future reference.
