New to Inflatables. Crack in PVC tube.

[pnwrecon]

Hello, all I am new to inflatables and new to the board. I recently bought an Aleko 12.5 pro fishing with an aluminum floor. I put a honda 5 hp on it and some launch wheels so far. My question is. When I initially inflated the boat and inspected it, I noticed what looks like a crack in it. Being new to inflatables I am unsure if this is normal or not. It doesn't leak or anything like that. Seems like it must be from being folded or something. Is this something to worry about? Should I see about returning the boat for a new one? Thanks for any advice.

If it's not leaking I wouldn't worry about it.
If you're worried about it I would clean the crack with MEK and apply a few layers of glue and let it cure.
If you're really worried about it, you can always clean with MEK and apply 3 layers of glue and patch it and let it cure.
But I wouldn't worry about.

Welcome to the forum. If it’s new, I’d return and get another one. If not new or no warranty I’d do what 909 said and repair it. Even if it’s not leaking I’d rather be safe than sorry.
