Through hull plug.

Stainless, 3/4" bolt with the head ground down so it won't catch a rock and tear the bottom of the boat out. It took alot of grinding. About 1/4" is left. Enough to grab a wrench.

Three rubber washers from the hardware store, the middle one cut down to fit inside the 1 1/8" hole in the hull.

Used JB Weld to seal the washer and threads/nut of the bolt. Tried to keep it off the aluminum hull.

Crank it down tight.

Why someone doesn't make a more refined production version out of bronze I don't know.
