repairing ski tow pylon anchor point on 2019 VR4 outboard

[DeckDrifter]

when I was towing a skier, I noticed that the screws keeping the original ski tow pylon in place had come loose. Fortunately, there isn't much structural damage. I'm wondering,should I just reattache it using the original 15mm screws and add some epoxy to the holes for extra security, or is this a common weak point that might need rienforcement with bolts and backing plates? Or do you have a different solution in mind? I'd appreciate any advice

Clean holes, fill with marine epoxy, use backing plate inside, then reattache pylon with original or longer screws. Bolts and plates add more strenght if needed.
