ok .. now that the motors are out and prepairing to rerig the Engine room .....found some rot ...need some advice ..
main Stringer that runs from Transom between the motors up to the bulkhead that is between Engine room and Fuel tank. There is a notch cut out of the stringer. About 10" high x12" wide .. Viewing from Starboard side it is lower right corner of the stringer. The notch is where the bilge pump is located. Looking at the notch ...the left side (transome side) has rot from the bilge up to where ther notch ends. In the pic's you can see one area where I can stick a screw driver in all the way.
Now the bulkhead running from Starboard to port ....It sounded hollow so I cut some holes ....rot ....however it seems like 2 pieces of plywood ..the piece closest to the transome is pretty much gone ... but you scrape out the 1/2" or so of rotten wood and the other side seems solid . I know i gota fix it ... and it's got to be done right but wonder if I could cut out the fiberglass on the engine room side and replace the rooten plywood and then reglass ? Trying to aviod removing the Fuel tank .... Thanks ....Mike
