Low road - forget about the one screw. Drill and tap the other holes to accept 1/4" machine screws and use only three in the lower gudgeon. Should hold up fairly well. | | | Re: Can I move the gudgeons inboard and still race?

You may be able to put a small (read: very small) inspection port behind the back beam...Then take a hammer and a punch, and just knock the screw into the hull. Be careful not to damage the transom any more, and then glass in the inside of the transom, retap larger screws, and keep on truckin....
