Acrylic hot tub cracks?

I have a couple of cracks on my 1988 CalSpa, smaller than what you show in your photo.   I tried epoxy a decade ago, didn't hold up over time due to 100% soaking in water, so I have purchased some "marine epoxy" to try next time I have it drained and dry.

I do have a small leak "somewhere" (not in the equipment side), but have been unable to pinpoint where, and one side is 8" from my home block.  So I use leak seal liquid like once or twice a year, and the stuff DOES work !!!

For the record: I don't think I've added leak seal to my 1988 CalSpa in a couple of years, but did need to add some about 10 days ago.  I removed the filter, added 2 oz. Leak Seal, ran the pump as per directions.  Leak stopped after maybe a day.  And a day later I reinstalled the filter, looks pretty decent for a 32.5 year old spa !!!  See how close the side of the house is to the side on the left, and of course that seems to be where the leak is.
