The tholepin was only another suggestion; but it doesn't have to be the correct answer.
Not due to its dimensions (it could belong in a small auxiliary rowing boat), but both tholepins and gun yokes are usually secured on the gunwales by means of a spike/rod introduced in a hole and not by (short) screw thread ends.
