1994 Carver 390 CPMY. I am mounting a Fireboy automatic fire extinguisher. It must be mounted upright, not horizontal. Anyway the only place I can mount it is against the port stringer in front of the port engine. I drilled a hole in the top of the stringer and used a scope to check what was inside and it was clean and clear. SO…….I drilled a hole about 4” from the bottom, and after I went through the fiberglass, (1/2” or so thick) The drill stopped and I saw metal/steel shavings and I stopped. Is there a steel plate inside the stringers? I also thought about making a bracket of 1/4” steel with a 90 degree bend at the top, then run it down to the where the hull mergers the stringer. then mount the backer onto the bracket..
Any opinions or does anyone know what is inside the stringers?
best always……
Tony
