A picture would help here, but it sounds like you're on the right track. All rot and then some has to be cut out completely. The whole piece of ply should be replaced with marine grade ply, and then reglassed. Is this a structural componant? If this is the corner at the transom the damage may go much further and should probably be left to a professional. Are you able to find where the water got through? Take it back to the source and begin replacing from there.
