Found the trim switch held in place with a couple of wads of electrical tape and most of the mounts that hold the plastic cover on busted off. After looking at the replacements and seeing that the new ones may not last long as the mounting points still look weak. I decided to repair the original one. I filled the cavity where the switch goes with aluminum foil and filled the rest with plasti weld epoxy and the mounting locations as well. Now the switch is held in with two screws instead of just one and the rest are solid points as well. I wont be able to get it back on the water for a couple of weeks.

How's the transom looking on it? I've had a couple glastrons of the same vintage with soft transoms. Mine has been redone and now I keep the boat in my garage when I'm not using it. No other troubles with the hull itself or the trailer and been a great boat.

If your motor has thermostats and/or a poppet valve I would do those as well. Mine has aftermarket gauges and I bought water temp and pressure gauges that I haven't installed yet. Trailer has been great for its age, I did the bearings even though they probably didn't need to be done but the bunk carpets need to be redone.

Transom seems to be solid.
