I'd add a layer of glass under there. You could do strips that go around the 90 degree bend from where the gunwale ends and goes across the top of the transom. I'm thinking behind the vertical parts. You can also put strips directly under where the hinges screw into the top of the transom, and on the ends where the flat part of the gunwale turns into the transom. It's a pain but you shouldn't leave it flexing. Your boat has to be solid, especially back there.
If you have a single hatch strut either move it close to the center or get one for the other side.

My old 275 ram mounted to the forward bulkhead in the center. Check out the 275's in the classifieds.
