Grommets are less than $5 each. As for the shift rod connector, you only need one "good" screw. Put a longer screw through the other one, with a nut on the back.
Let that be a lesson to all. When installing the shift rod connector screw, use a flashlight to peer in there and make sure the notch in the shift rod is exactly aligned with the hole in the connector before inserting the screw. If not aligned, the screw threads will drag on the edge of the notch, which will wipe the threads off the screw. Then it will fall out, but never at dockside. Always 5 miles out.
