Default Gunnel/Gunwale repair question

I am beginning to think about repairs on my Topaz after I get the engine rigged and up and running.
I have noticed that the top of the gunwales/gunnels are soft and it appears that the wood encapsulated in fiberglass has become rotten. How do I replace rotten wood in the gunnel tops? Should I cut in from the top, remove all traces of wood, leaving bottom fiberglass core intact and replace with new wood soaked in resin and then fiberglass on top? or somehow go in from the underside?

Also any pictures or links showing this repair would be very helpful!!
Thanks in advance!

-Fred
