Can anyone give me suggestions as to how I should restore the wood motor mount of my 84? The motor mount has the protective surface flaking off and the wood under it looks dry.

I don't know what kind of mount you have, but might I suggest you replace the wood with a plastic replacement sold by West Marine among others. If you want to be a slave to the wood on it, then remove it, sand it and refinish it with UV resistant polyurethane..
