After drilling out for installation of rod holder I would coat the marine plywood with a sealer or fiberglass resin to protect from any water . I noticed possibly 5200 or similar sealer was used on top side.Usually fresh water is a bigger enemy then salt water. Not to worry it could still be repaired.

soggy wood prevailed through out gunwale, which threw up a flag for other areas with wood coring. this rod holder was factory installed and should have been sealed. repairable yes….correct construction no !
