I had this same problem of not enough room for a collar with a project boat I worked on. If you have a rubber hose connecting seal housing to log you can cut hose shorter and butt seal housing right up to log. Mine needed even more room and I faced the seal housing down shorting the housing. I could only use one clamp on that side but used a good T bolt clamp and it held fine.
