Hobie Getaway transom bolts stripped - how to repair?

The female threads on the rear transom that the bolt goes into that holds the pintel is stripped. I'm not sure how to repair it. Does anyone have a fix. The bolt goes in but just spins.

Unfortunately there is no repair for the insert. It is one piece and inter connected.

You might try stepping up a screw size?

If that doesn't work you could through bolt, but this would require a port installed in the aft deck to access the inside of the transom.

How about tapping the screw hole to allow a bigger screw. I have done this a few times to great success.

I think JB Weld & Loctite have a product that can repair threads, never tried it. I have used helicoils & inserts for different things in the past.
