Is there a thread on this somewhere? What needs silicone? (besides my wife)

No post I know about.

I silicone sealed my cup holder drains since they either drain to carpeted areas or the bilge. I also unscrewed the cup holders from the hull and sealed the edge and reinstalled the cup holder.

On the back swim platform wet storage area the large removable tray that is screwed in is generally sealed poorly.

the small round access hatches need to be unscrewed from the tray and sealed too - not the hatch itself but the screwed in base.

It really baffled me why the damn cup holders have holes in them that just dump right into the carpeted storage areas . I would rather they not have a drain hole at all. Blasphemy, I know! I mean...even if they were sealed worse case in a downpour you have a cup holder full of water . Big deal, let it splash out onto the seats and then floor where it will self-bail via the scupper.
