The strut that the SBO Store has is the original style for our Cherubini boats.
For whatever reason, the PO didn't know where to source the original so
they built up a "mounting pad" and put yours on.
Sorry ggrizzard, but that is incorrect. The strut shown in the YouTube is the original equipment that was fitted to the H37C. It was originally produced by Dahmer as part # H-34. It is now available from Miller's Island Propeller Inc.

The nuts that hold the strut on are accessible through the screw-out cover behind the hot water heater, aft of the engine. You will need to remove the strut to re-bed or replace it. Two person job - one inside, one out.
The through hulls were top quality Perko and they were originally fitted with gate valves. The thru hulls should be OK to re-use but there should be a proper seacock to replace the gate valves (if they are still there). You will need a thru hull step wrench or a suitably sized file or bar to insert in the thruhull to keep it from turning while someone unscrews the valve from the inside.

@monoceresin: do your homework! There is
a lot of information on the 1978 - 1985 Hunter 37 Cutter here in the archives on SBO. As well, member John Brecher (
@Johnb) maintains the H37C database - if you haven't registered with him, you should.
