I have a slightly displaced fin box, the box itself is ok, and normally if I get a few cracks around the box, I would push in some epoxy and then glass around the fin. I also get that if the box itself is broken it needs to come out and be replaced. I repair plenty of cracks and holes using epoxy with or without filler. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to realign the fin without pulling it out totally and making the whole exercise bigger than be hour. My thinking is to drill down the slightly depressed side to get enough leverage to straighten it. I will tape the fin to the rails to hold it up, inject/drip epoxy down the side, let it set back into straight position, use epoxy bog for any holes in foam and between foam and fin box, then glass with clear epoxy as usual. The foam is not badly damaged at surface but I am guessing there must be some crushed foam under the base of fin box, fin box is only off by 1-2mm. Note this is a surfclub paddle board, not a surfboard so there is no stringer on underside, not sure if there is a stringer imbedded under the fin box and that is why I do not want to pull it all out.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
