Turn the forward vents around, no water will get in and you will still have good ventilation for your bilge. If you restore it I would take them out. I used to take on water thru the rear ones on crappy days drift fishing with guys jigging on one side of boat. This was on an inboard 23. I had good venting thru my console and that helped. Also the docks would bang them up or a buddy would tie up to you and bust the plastic ones.
