I did this last summer.  You probably already have Bill Wickman's PDF  
that shows how did it, but just in case, I'll attempt to attach a copy.

With this in hand, the installation went smoothly.

Bill states that in the place where he drilled the hole for the pin  
the fiberglass was thick enough that no additional bracing was needed.  
  On my boat the fiberglass was less than 1/4" thick at that location,  
so I backed it up with a 3/4 block of wood epoxied in place.

Also, at the place where you drill the hole the fiberglass is not  
quite horizontal.  Drill the hole perpendicular to the surface rather  
than vertical.  This will make the top of the pin sit flush, which  
will look better.

I think you'll enjoy your new toy.
