Looking for some advice.
I just purchased a Garelick 2 step transom ladder from IBoats for installation on a 2011 Tracker Pro Guide v16 sc
I found a post on the forums and the tracker pictured in the fourth reply is really similar to my boat but it looks like it is a bit deeper and also appears as though he may have been able to get bolts through all the ladders mounting holes.

With mine I can only get all the way through on the top set of holes. Thinking I need to use sheet metal screws on the lower holes or tap them for a nice tight fit.
Wondering if anyone has ever done this or taken one of these Pro Guides apart? I might be able to get to the lower screws if I take the whole back deck apart but its a lot of work and I think there might be foam in the way.
Two pics are attached. Wondering if anyone has done this on a Pro Guide before. Is there anything inside that transom to screw into? Feels like something is in there but I cant tell.
Thanks any advice is appreciated before I go drilling holes
