Tip, put the smooth side of duck tape over the hole, with a larger sticky side to hold it. The epoxy will not stick to the smooth side of the duck tape. When you remove it you will have a smooth cured surface that can then be re-drilled.
bubbles in epoxy...a small butane torch after you pour the epoxy is like magic. Pour the epoxy and then "flame the epoxy" lightly. Bubbles gone...instantly.
Glad to see you back! Since silicone is so problematic, I wonder if you could have used something else to seal the rails when you reinstalled them, like 3M 4200. Main drawback is that it's not clear.

No, you tap the bung in and trim the extra off with a wood chisel held flat, then lightly sand.
No, you just split the bung with a screw driver or better a small wood chisel. Split the bung it will come right out, no drill necessary.
Looks good. The boat is really coming along
Thank you! Slowly but surely. Thanks for watching!

Thanks, it’s good to be back!
I’ll look into the 3M 4200 for future deck fittings 👍🏼
Looks good.
To much hardener for the weather condition, hot sun for sure will kick it.
