Drill a small hole on the end of that crack, it should stop the crack from growing.

Also, the cause could be that the screw there was too tight, perhaps loosen the all screws abit to relieve some stress.

What he said.
maybe back the screw out it may be over tightened. Is it anywhere near the hatch hinge or lock? may be a stress point.

Yes, it is fairly common to find cracking there. That has been a notorious thin spot on a few batches of the tanks.

Take Deefeesha's advice and drill a tiny hole to relieve the stress. Then add a little marine goop and you should be good to go.

Hobie bait tank has a 50lb weight limit...

suggestion is don't use the bait tank as a porta potty - it was not designed to sit on and hold more that 50lbs...

Best advice right there crack head. Bummer George, I've never seen that before. Didn't know porta potties were that fragile.
