Smashed zinc to get the bolt out on an an Alpha 1 Gen 1 (the rear bolt)

THe hex bolt from under the zinc is in

Will I have issues with water between the halves without the zinc and zinc bolt. Everything else is bolted tight

I guess what I'm asking is with the bolt in from underneath a half inch away, is the zink bolt really holding anything together?

I only ask because I forgot to get one and I'm boating this weekend, I will be getting one before going out again
