I found the same and also most of the hardware was steel and not SS. Everything will rust eventually, guess Starcraft didn't think we would be redoing hulls 50 years old.

Maybe disassembly and reassembly will work. I took mine all apart and reassembled with new rivets. Haven't had an issue with sagging and such. (Now I need to go check my window...) lol

I ran into a similar issue on mine. Ultimately, I had to add a shim under mine to level them out. Plus under the back braces too because of the added thickness of the flooring.

I think every transom has to look like that for it to be a restore on here.... lol
Right or wrong, I just skimmed with JB weld when I patched mine.

What temperature did you apply it in? Once epoxy starts to kick it usually cures faster, not slower. Did you mix enough hardener and for long enough? I would do a test sample with your spare epoxy to see if you have a bad batch.

I have ours mounted on the front of the console. It has been pounded by water many times with no issue. As you aren't plugged into power during use the cover seals out the water.

You would have to try and swap them. I think its the connectors at the helm that will make or break the idea. Other option is just swap the whole steering box. Holes should be the same so should just be a simple unbolt and rebolt.
