I have a 2008 32 regulator and after a tuna trip this weekend (in very nice weather) I noticed a large crack in one of the welds on the T-Top. It goes almost a third of the way around the pipe, and it is the weld where the forward top support is connected to the vertical support. The metal is also powdercoated, and I can see the separated metal through the cracks in the powdercoat.
My question is,will this be repairable, or will they have to replace the top? It is still under warrantee, but I dont want a ptach job that will fail after the warranty expires.
Thanks for any information/thoughts you can offer!

Is it an after market T-top (installed by the dealer) or a factory one from regulator?

Thanks for the advice, my thought is they should replace it as well.
It is factory made and installed. I will let you all know how it turns out.

Place a mark on the defective t-top to make sure it gets replaced & not repaired, somewhere only you will know to look.

You can demand a replacement, and they will probably give you one. But if the manufacturer wants to be a hard a#s they can probably stick to the written warranty agreement and get by with a repair. Good luck.

It'd be hard for emto repair that and powered coat the fixed area with out it showing. Powdercoating is hard to repair.
Demand a new t-top you payed good money for that boat, no reason yous hould settle for a cracked t-top in less than a year. Hope it doesn't take time away fromt he water.
