Can someone please help tell me if this dent in the scupper hole under the seat is significant. At first I thought maybe the cart put a dent in the scupper but i just realized that i don't use that scupper hole for the cart (I use the back ones). Do I need to do something with this? It doesn't look like there is complete penetration of the plastic and you can see there is yellow coloration on part of it. I wonder if it was like this from the factory and this is where it came off the mold???? Couldn't find any other way to post this picture so here is this link

Likely nothing to worry about. May have a mold imperfection on the part that forms the scupper. The yellow may be what we call "mold release"... It is applied to the mold each cycle and helps the plastic release from the mold.

If you can see from the inside of the hull, you may see a lump there, but likely not visible.

thanks Matt. Just mostly wanted to make sure it wasn't more likely to crack there without repair.
