cracks in icebox

Just bought a 1967 Cal-30. Have noticed a few cracks inside the icebox, most are about 3-5 inches long, most are hairline, some are a bit wider. I'm wondering what impact this has on keeping stuff cool, I'm assuming (uh-oh) that if it leaks it will simply drain into the bilge. Should I try and glass over them? Bondo? Good ol' duct tape for the short term? Thanks

We have the same issue with the fridge on our Cal-40. The interior of the box is a gel coat finish so I will repair it with gel coat so that it is easier to clean and so moisture is less apt to seep into the fiberglass. That's what will work on our boat. Your mileage may vary... Good luck Mike M. On 7/1/2010 9:23 PM, rnc725 wrote: > > > Just bought a 1967 Cal-30.
