I am upgrading my fish finder. the boat it aluminum.. how do i deal with the
old holes? Stainless steel screw with some sort of silicone?

Don't use stainless. Dissimilar metals will eventually cause
corrosion.

1.) Get the holes welded up at a good welding shop.
2.) Use aluminum bolts and nuts with waterproofing washers inside and
out, and use "Thread-lock".
3.) If you use screws, use aluminum. The silicone can eventually
leak, the screw may loosen, and you may tear your shoes on the exposed
sharp point.

Good luck,
....carry on.
