Try that again. I don't understand what you're talking about.

We do!. Thats why people come here. To look for professional advice. A quick fix will just delay the inevitable. Repair the complete rotted stringer. If you try a pour in place, you risk the mixture leaking to the bottom of the hull and setting up a hard spot.
