Bush - thx for the heads up on Git Rot. My Dad used it here and there on his boats - but he always took the short cuts in repairs ( so I always thought it a shoddy approach ).
After this season, I will dry her out as best I can and give it a shot… Can the Git Rot be used in conjunction with injecting West System epoxy - or will it fill up the voids and harden on its own ?
Flex - That is awesome info. I have wanted something like that - and I was trying to see through old pix on the site this same area with the floor removed - to see the structure. It's odd that theses soft spots are in the identical areas on opposite sides of the i/o cover.
My boat was originally a twin I/O that I converted to a single V8 so the structure might be slightly different. I am going to pull my fuel tank hatch off to R/R my fuel sending unit within the next few days so I'll take a peak around...
