Plugging a Hole in the Hull
The yard where I bought my boat had drilled a hole (diameter: about 3/8 of an inch) in the hull to drain the bilge. Not sure how brilliant this technique is but I have to plug it before launching the boat.

What is the proper way to do it?

I was thinking of filling the hole with 3M 5200, inserting a self-tapering bolt or screw in the hole, putting a few coats of Interprotect 2000 on the bolt head and finishing it with some Interlux Watertight epoxy Filler for fairing (see drawing below).

Any inputs?
