Dale, I am wondering if there is any problem with just using a bolt, washers, and a nut that locks in ( I think I am using the right terms - my mechanical knowledge isn't much). My friend who is working on the boat for me wants to do a quick fix for the season and then really work on the boat next winter, so he wondered why one would need to use the epoxy. Wouldn't water get in there anyway? I found a bolt at West Marine for $5.00 that is what they call marine grade stainless steel. It fit perfectly (3/8") and I was going to cut off the head and the threads to make it a pin but am now wondering if that is necessary.
