I accidentally put a small break in our fiberglass dock box along the hinge edge. The dock box is long as in around 5', narrow as in around 18-20" and maybe 24" tall. It's far from trashed but definitely needs a little help. What's the best "glue" or other material to repair a split in a fiberglass dock box ?

Fiberglass. Just glass it over and sand it down

I.C.U.Lookin, I can appreciate what you're saying. If I had the tools, materials and experience with fiberglass I would be OK with that approach. Also, this is at the marina where my boat lives on a lift. Is there no fiberglass glue that contains the same chemical bonding agent that I can just glue this with. I really don't have the tolerance in the lid to add any extra fiberglass. It likely won't close properly if I add any material as it's pretty tight clearance. Everything is still all together, it just has a split/crack in it now on one end.

Thanks for the input.

Might be able to use tiger hair. You will end up adding material to fix it just have to sand back down when done

can you post a picture of the damage? It might be easier to get help if we can see what the problem is
