While unrigging my boat in preperation for recoating the bilge area I discovered that the fore area of my port stringer is rotted.
I am not sure to the extent of the rot, however when checking the holes at the motor mount I find no rot. The stringer is not encapsulted in fiberglass at the last 1" or so. There is where the rot had begun. What are my options in repairing this. Can I have the rotted section pulled and replaced or will the entire stringer have to be replaced.
The stringer is still very solid when pulling and pushing on it. I want to fix this the right way but not break my boat bank account (That has already been done on the motor).
Any help would be appreciated.
