Unwanted rotten wood project on 92 Parker Cuddy 21'

[moovillesc]

Hello all,
I noticed a soft spot around the rear hatch last year and finally have time to check it out. The wood on both sides is rotted approx. 2" with the deepest spot being close to 5" and that's only about 3" wide. I didn't want to start cutting the floor so my thought is to remove the rotted wood, dry it out, install new sealed marine plywood and through bolt the hatch back down. Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Hopefully pictures will be ebclosed.

Thanks again,
David

Dig out all the rotted wood and fill it with slow cure epoxy mixed with cabosil and milled fibers.

It will never rot again.

Great idea Bryan, Thanks. We used to have trash cans of cabosil in our shop for fillers.
