I don't think the Epoxy will bond with that staron stuff. It's made that way. nothing sticks because the polymer chain is complete.
Don't be afraid of a few holes in the transom. Use a bigger piece of mounting plate than 2x2. I used a piece about 4x8. I drilled 2 holes in the plate and hull. I filled the holes with 3-m 5200 marine sealant. This stuff is made to do what we are doing. It will bond with that plastic and acts like silicon to seal the holes. Squirt some in the hole before you send in the screw. Be sure your piolet hole is big enough, but not to big.
