While out sailing today I noticed a crack on my left aft aka support bracket along the weld. It is the weld on the actual aka for the support fitting. Looking for repair recommendations. It's about an inch and a half long.

Don't muck around trying to repair it, just go straight to your dealer, even if your AI is out of warranty.

Went back to the dealer who contacted Hobie with no luck. The Kayak is out of warranty and they claim I must have done something to cause the crack. I'll try to fix it myself and if that doesn't work I'll be buying a new Aka.
