I was wondering if anyone has had to rebed the stringer where the motor mounts attach to? My mounts are old and worn, I have removed the engine from the boat for some fix’in and in the process I noticed that the mounts were held in place with lag bolts. Also, on the starboard side, some oils/diesel has worked its way down into the wood in the stringer compromising its strength. Also, a few of the lags had broken off in the stringer. So… now I have the lags drilled out, and I am wanting to rebed all the holes with epoxy. However, will epoxy hold with a vibrating engine? I was thinking of drilling and taping the epoxy to provide a threaded seat rather then lagging it. Anyone have any experience rebedding the holes of the mounts?
