@Mcgillicuddy: I think the weight of the engine is 369. It looks like they screwed and glued over the scuppers in the bottom of the hull(at least there is some sort of plate down there).

Good deal on your motor weight. Light is right. If the plates are thin wedges that was standard practice just fore of scupper holes. Scupper holes would have been immediately aft, so my guess someone filled them.
As far as the steering cable goes a lot of these have been butchered to some degree. max flex cable might help. some models have a little lump on the edge of the of the stern locker and splashwell designed to make that easier but some were not conducive the driver's preference of throttle shifter placement.
