As to some of your other issues, spend the money on hydraulic steering. Much less maintenance and more reliable. Also, when you are talking about the scuppers, my 69 center console has boxes from the rear of the deck to the transom. The deck scuppers are/were connected from the deck to the transom with hoses that connected to through hull fittings out of the back of the transom. Is that what you are dealing with as well?
Chris.
