The pivots would have been the way to go with such large guns. It easily would have given this boat a powerful four gun broadside or allow it to "tack" into a frontal charge with a two or possibly even a three gun attack! A typical truck mounted gun could have been manhandle in the same way but would have been slow to respond to changing battle conditions. I think with such a centerline armorment it would of had to have been pivots of some kind.
