plug lining

[oldfielder]

HatTrick-
There seem to be many possible corrections to that boat yard fix. I don't have the building skills as the other craftsmen on this site, but if it were me, I'd pull that plug holder back out and make sure you get the wood nice and dry and then seal it with a penetrating epoxy and/or epoxy before putting that holder back in. The thing I would worry most about is if they just screwed that in in that area, sooner or later you're going to have a fine amount of water intrusion if you don't seal it up properly. I'd hate the thought of that plug holder not being fastened securely.
