Agree with everyone on butyl tape. Also I suggest countersinking the holes
slightly to give a small shoulder area where the butyl can sit around the
boat. Put the bolts through the base of the winch and wrap them with a
small rolled snake of tape right where they come through. You can also put
Butyl tape or Life Products LifeSeal.

You might find grooves in the base of the winch which should be kept clear
of butyl to allow water to drain out of the body of the winch. Otherwise
water pools up to, maybe, the level of the lower gear sets.

Thanks for the great advice folks… Butyl tape (and nothing else) it is!

Butyl is by far the best option. Removal of winch in future will be far easier.
Butyl is an excellent sealant. There is no reason to overdo the sealing here
anyway. Leaks drip down to bilge without adversely affecting anything.

I'd use good quality Butyl Tape, around the bolts and in the bolt holes.
