And let's not forget the 'green labeled' 3M poly resin has 'MARINE'
versus "AUTOMOTIVE' stamped on it.......that must make it worth 4X$$.
Kind of like:
"Interlux Special Thinner 216 smells just like xylene, available from
most paint stores for 1/3 the price"

You already have had good advice from the C&C listers. No new advice from me
but here is what we did with the same situation you are experiencing.
When we bought our boat in 2006, the strut base had a fine hairline crack. We
decided to dig out all the filler, mainly to check the nuts/bolts and related
structure holding the 'strut'. All was O.K........but now we know.....the
hairline crack was probably caused by vibration from a worn cutlass
bearing......no big deal....we replaced the cutlass bearing and refilled the
strut base with I think, polyester resin....if I can remember it took two litre
cans I bought at Canadian Tire for $10 per litre versus $50 per litre at the
Binnacle.....exact same resin made by 3M....one in a red label for $10 and the
other in a green labeled can for $50. Nine seasons later, still no new
hairline cracks.

I had my 38 hauled out to have some glass work done on the knife edge of the
transom, because some moron bumped it (300-ft space between docks).
While it was up on sticks I figured I get some work done, like zincs, grease
the maxi prop, etc.
I notice something with my strut.
I have moisture around the base of the strut, in the form of a square.
Strut seems to be tight, to the untrained eye.
I understand after they are installed (bolted up) they are glazed in, using
epoxy or fairing or a combination, possibly even glassed in (rare).
The cause can be vibration from misalignment, worn cutlass bearing or loose
bolts or again any combination.
Anyone ever have this issue and have some suggestions.
I believe the filler to smooth it out is cracked.
Thanks
