Beaver,
there is no way to through bolt the console as the flanges as there is no access to the underside of the deck. I would remove the rusted hold down screws any way you can. The location of holes should be marked when you remove the console. The deck in this location is plywood and holds screws well. You can move he console forward 3/4 -1" and oversize followed by filing with epoxy and milled fibers.l
I found things on my '85 that baffled me.
1. Old sneakers to level the deck that were left under the deck.
2. They cut rear stringer top about 1/2' deep x 8" long and never recovered the foam.
3 Steel nuts on the machine screws that hold the front casting platform lid piano hinge
4. Steel nuts underside of the bow rail.
