The word you are looking for is lunette (lunette & pintle---used in
the trailer hitching business)


More probably the terms are pintle and gudgeon,
the traditional way of fastening a rudder to a boat

To replace a gate hinge, if no specialist carpentry
store is nearby, a boatyard may supply your needs
better than an auto or trailer dealer.

None of the "gudgeons" I've found on the web have "lag bolt" section,
but this Screw Eye and Pintle Hinge does:
