I live in oakley ca, and I also scuba dive..

My console had angled trim wood beside the console, thru which long screws angled into the wood pieces beneath the console. I backed out the screws, tilted the console forward, replaced the rotten wood with SeaTeak pieces (like starboard, I believe)that I had cut to size, screwed the Seateak pieces to the deck in the footprint of the old pieces, sealing the screws with 5200, then predrilled the Seateak, replaced the console and cranked down those angled screws thru the side trim. No more movement. No water intrusion. best of luck scott
