Replacing a stringer. Is this the normal way to do it?
Ran across this on the web. I was always under the assumption you cut the old stringer out, replaced it and re glassed it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRsd...QHr_qEogZsBsVw

It seems like that could provide decent strength if he had dried the cavity thoroughly first and as long as there was no water intrusion into the transom. I don't know though. Glad my boat has composite stringers.

Ya know.......ive always wondered ever since vacuum infusion came on the scene, what if you sealed off all the drill holes etc on the stringer and just infused the rotted stringer with some slow cure epoxy and let it cure solid? Obviously this would only work if the rot is still fairly solid and not a pile of dust at the bottom of the shell of whats left inside the stringer......any thoughts from the guys that work in the industry like Glassdave? Sure would be easier than cutting it open and digging all the rot out etc...with no oxygen i think it would stop any more rot from happening with whats left there.
