what might work is a type of well nut that BPS and other marine dealers sell to mount trolling motors on a flat surface. about 3-4 inches long rubber with a brass nut that when you tighten it down it mashes the rubber out and ends up being fairly secure. it has to be secure when you have a 40-80 lb. thrust trolling motor jerking it around.
