 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

I guess but I don't go there!
Need access somehow to the bottom to either put whole new nut/bolt or at least nut? |

Find a bolt that fits correctly and drill a deck hatch so you can access it underneath.

Yes Mike & Mike! I was hoping someone had a magic bullet,,, cuting holes in boats never feels right.

I had "almost" the same kind of connection break on my boat.
I didn't have the flange on the end it was just right flush with the gunnel and bolted from underneath.
I could not get to the bolt and I found rail brackets online with the exact angle I needed. Three screws fasten it to the boat and set screws hold the rail. It is stronger than original.
But for yours you would have to cut/grind off that flange.
Something like these they come in different angles. I actually did the side that was still intact so they would match and the added strength. People are always yanking on bow rails.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

Need access to the bottom, can't tell you how to do it without knowing what is looks like under the rail. Worse comes to worse, they do make stainless toggle bolts.
