Frequently "thru hulls" are used with sea cocks.
The solidly bolted sea cock keeps the water out of the boat , the thru hull perhaps keeps the hull laminate dry.
On inspected vessels the thru hull may be pulled for inspection at times , so some sort of glue as a sealer serves NO purpose , except to make the task harder.
Taking a look is a great idea , USCG requirement or not , especially after 20-45 years.
