There is also a decent sized hole in the aft cabin wall where the cables from the battery/motor come through.

We plug the "hole" under the gunnel between the cockpit and cabin with a SS scrub pad. Put a "Bounce" fabric softener pad in there also. Keeps the critters out of the cabin--a frequent entrance for mice and the like. The "Bounce" retells mosquitoes, gnats, flies and other insects.

I use bronze wool to block the holes. Not supposed to rust.

You should also block the anchor hawser hole. Even though there is a cover, I've had a mouse go through there.
