Yes and see below from rob regarding ‘bigger concerns’. 😏 There is a lesser but more practical concern with water entering around the hatch (as it does) and draining from the gutter and dribbling down the bulkhead, then into the openings. (At rest at least the dribbles run elsewhere in Windstar, but heeled in a downpour who knows.). My fix for this is to make a plastic ring that is smaller than the flange on the deck plate and use that to shim the deck plate flange off the surface of the bulkhead. It needs to be stood off or trimmed anyway. This will form a rain gutter in effect, and the dribbles will run around the opening. (I’ll post pics). The snap in deck plates can be installed to block the openings if for whatever reason that’s desired.
