'72 23ft 305 I/O - Leaving it in the water during fishing season

Yeah, that sounds like a great way to make penetrations.
I don't plan on doing a resto on this boat any time soon, if ever, but I would like to use it for a long time and I would like to take care of it. Do you think I should redo the penetrations that have been made, such as, the transducers, swim platform, trim tabs, etc? It seems like I should and at the same time I can check out for any rot. It's either that or apply adhesive around the penetrations to keep the moisture out.
Is there a tutorial or guideline for doing the drill, epoxy, drill method? How much larger than the bolt hole do you drill? What epoxy are you guys using? Do you paint it after? Do you seal around the outside of the bolt after it is in?

Thanks,

Very excited new Seacraft owner, Keith
