If the bolts went all the way thur the water will just run out the bottom, I would not worry about it. But if it makes you feel better just use silicone on the top and leave the bottom for drains.

No wonder he's The Grand Pubah...  But how many holes around the frame are we talkin' about?...1/4"?...1/2"?...Franco's right about Nav Lights in two of them...how many holes after that?... The ultimate fix would be have welder fill in and grind, buff smooth, but of course that'll be expensive and you'd probably have to remove the canvas you just put on... If the holes are small enough, lowes has aluminum "sex-nuts"...would show screw head from inside and flat, smooth hear from other which w/a small amount of persuasion could be conformed to tubing curve... Could try a little alum. boat repair in a tube...

filling with the screws is not a bad idea....but I think the silicone is the easiest route....appreciate all the help guys.....I've made a bunch of progress over the winter and will have to post some pictures soon.

Here, this is what you need but you may have to drill out the hole out a touch to make it fit or find one that fits you hole size. You push it in an it seals the hole and all you see is a round black rubber peice.

I am not so sure about that I was talking to one of our boat reps today from out of town their ttop guy is not real busy right now since boats are not selling .... It might be the perfect time to see if you can get a welder to fix it. they might be willing to negotiate more to get the work...
