"idea of rebuilding it in the house" Seems perfectly reasonable to me. :)

Agreed, but might need a long shaft.

Interesting and thanks for sharing. This stuff is rated CDX. According to the spec's it uses a copper based preservative. I would be leery about the possible galvanic reaction. I'm not a chemist or scientist. Just a guy applying an abundance of caution. I would be happy to be shown to be...

That is a very nice rig, congrats! I really like the steering console set-up, especially that flip up cover. I look forward to watching this come together.

The sciatica is better but I'm still moving around a little gingerly. So, yesterday I did a tune-up on an old Garcia Mitchell 300 I bought a few years back at a garage sale. It is one of the made in France models. It has no particular value from a collector's standpoint. I like it because...

I think by lower mount support plate you mean a backer plate for the lower mounting bolts. Yes, I would add something for sure. That would be in addition to replacing the bad transom wood. I will add I think @thill makes a very good point in post #9. Like he says, if you are happy with...

Wait, you mean I was supposed to keep that little white round thing? 😀

@airshot , I also operate spot lock without the puck. I was totally confused about the need for the puck. In addition to the spot lock, it is about the "jog" function. I finally "got it" with a little help (and a lot of patience) from the folks responding in this thread...
