A survey done by the previous owner noted cracks in the cap shroud swage fittings. The insurance company wants me to replace those shrouds before they will insure the boat for navigation. I think the surveyor indicated the wrong shrouds. The intermediate shrouds have cracks, but I can't find any cracks in the cap shroud fittings. I have attached a couple of pics. It's kind of hard to see, but the red circle shows a very small half inch crack in the intermediate shroud fitting; the cap shroud is right next to it in the same pic. The other two pics are the lower shroud fittings, and the only thing I can see are some marks around the circumference of the swage barrel. Are those cracks? They look more like tool marks than cracks, since there is no apparent separation in the metal.
