I was looking up the warrant and the 2019’s and up have a three year warranty and anything before that is a two year warranty mine is a 2017. I’m gonna hit them up Monday and see what they can do if not it looks like the plastic welder or JB weld. I have a Hand bilge pump just in case.

I agree my buddy who got me into the sport noticed it even before I did and we pretty much use them the same his is a 2014 never had problems. I use my truck to launch and pick up. Also my railing were the flat black part is actually bows up and you can see through. I also notice my transducer cover was loose and some one stripped it I never worked on it. I’m an a fuck it it works kind of person but this leak is bad and the dealer installed the transducer I got the one from the floor never doing that again I wanna see it come out of the plastic lol. Oh well gonna just take it down tomorrow and see what kind of response I get I hope it’s positive.

That's something I would expect if you had tried to jump up a curb, while the kayak was fully loaded with bait tank, seat, rods and a 30lb LJ Yellowtail. No, really that and the drive well are the strongest areas of the hull. That usually means, that is were the plastic is thickest. I beleive Hobie will take care of it because it's not old and because Hobie is known for great customer servise. I never had any issue storing my 2016 Revo 13 on the Hobie Trax 2 30.

I 2nd FISH11's recommendation. Take it to Fastlane. They got Hobie to replace my dad's Outback due to a leaking hatch and he was the 2nd owner.

good Luck. Hobie has a reputation for taking care of their customers more often than not. That's why we pay the extra $ for their products

JB weld does not flex or contract/expand like your hull material does so expect it to fail.
For hull repairs I drill a relief hole at each end of the crack to keep it from spreading any further. Then using a hot tool, like what's in that that repar kit, to melt plastic and form it into shape. I always keep extra hull material from when I drill, cut, rig my kayaks just in case of situations like these.
