Thats the problem,I didnt know it was going to hit the stringer so the hole is slightly to big,I used a lag bolt but it feels like if I keep tighten it will strip out,so I need to fill that hole and redrill it a size smaller and reinstall the lag bolt.
So what do I use to fill that hole?would regular epoxy from a menards work??
thanks

I bet it is holding better then you think. Did you put silicone in there when you tightened it? If so remember that will act as a lubricant when you tighten in the bolt. After it sits in there for a bit the wood will start to swell around the bolt and it will hold better. What kind of tabs? I bet you are find. If you really are worried about it then run a thin piece of wood in there to fill up some of the hole. Then reinstall your bolt. The problem with a "plug" is that you will be just bonding to the plug more or less and will be no better off. I bet you are fine as it is.....

Whatever you do to plug your oversize hole, the bolt you put back in must be gooped up real well with silicone. Lots of Cigs have had rotten stringers & transoms from people f-ing around with that tab lag bolt and it leaking.

Thanks for all the replys guys.
I ended up getting a 5"lag bolt and filled the hole with 5200 and drove the lag in,
went in nice and tight.
