Limber Hole?

[CatawbaRinker]

I've owned a 1995 Rinker Fiesta Vee 265 for 5 years. Down in the bilge I have what I think is a limber hole. To the left in the front picture is the drain hole.

Obviously I know the long term issues/concerns with potential water in this area but I'm debating whether or not to just seal this off. I have a new, working bilge in the front cabin under the steps and have never seen any signs of moisture or water anywhere in the front cabin. Any thoughts on just sealing this off?

Yep, the layup was a bit off, a limber generally is much cleaner than what you posted.
