Why not use 5200? It will fill the holes and keep them watertight, fillers like evercoat will crack out over time. Sure, an epoxy would work, but a lot more work than squeezing something out of a tube. And isn't this all hidden behind the new rub rail? I have more important things to obsess over than how some hidden holes are filled, as long as they are watertight. Yes, I am annoyed that advice I gave, accepted installation procedures, are being questioned. and called wrong, by implication, at minimum. Not fair to me, or to the poor guy who I gave the advice to.
I don't see why you are so upset, it looks to me like people are giving advice on what they would do, just as you gave advice on what you would do. I think filling with a filler is a better method because if for some reason you end up needing to use an area near a hole you "filled" then it will have more structural integrity. I would use 3M premium filler with fiberglass strands.
