Hold the phone..... Those rules only apply to gasoline powered inboards. Diesel is a little less restrictive; I feel a Duramax repower coming on in the near future! In the meantime im just going to move forward with the repair and leave those compartments open.

I ripped some 1 inch strips out of 3/4 inch coosa to use as cleats at the top my stringers. Sea Ray used 1x1 pine for their cleats. Would it be any benefit to wrap the cleats in glass before bonding them to the stringer?

I don't think so, since tou won't be adding strength to the part your screwing into. I would add a strip to the top when you bond it to the stringer, to add strength where the screws will actually be grabbing.
