Mine actually had a small weep hole. Never been an issue. Minimal water to the bilge. I have a surface mounted Lewmar. I recommend adding support underneath. I added (2) 3/4" pcs of plywood glassed together that mirrored the bow section. Its a PITA to work within the anchor locker door/hatch, but once you're done - you're done. Remember to epoxy the edges where the anchor line feeds, the hawsall, down below. I also recommend potting the bolts that go through the deck with epoxy to avoid ever having to deal with water intrusion / delam.
The windlass is a great investment for the Tsunami / Sceptre - get a good one...
Lastly, I think those holes are for fishing poles ( at least that's where my rod tips go )
