Use quality stainless steel hardware, You dont list engines or outdrives , but outdrives are nominally 2 1/4 inches thick. I would guess inboard transoms should be the same thickness

Very poor construction and what is this gap where you see wood.

nope, corrosion closed it up

Replacement is your best option ,that leak has been there for a very long time post 2 in here I`ll check for another video but you locate the center, drill the first hole with a #3 drill 3/8ths deep.Then switch to a 1/8 inch. Watch the filings coming out. First is aluminum, then brass, then steel, now STOP Tap 1/4 x 28 for the grease fitting and grease. http://www.clubsearay.com/index.php?threads/how-to-install-the-missing-grease-fitting-that-prevents-steeering-arm-water-leakage.68348/#post-775729

I would add the missing grease fitting to the new or reconed housing . It will prevent rusting of the steering pin that takes out the seal. Very easy install on all the drives

Some place between the front of the motors and the base of the windshield, what are you trying to do?

If your worried about the hot water side , blow the lines dry with a small compresor If your worried about the raw water side, just open the drain , remove the hoses at the block, blow dry with a compressor . If your going to add AF to the motor to winterize add a jumper hose at the motor , pour the AF into the block and manifolds Your trying to reinvent the wheel instead of keeping it simple
