holes in my Box

No, nary a drop. The area of the immobilizer is well away from the spray pattern from the front tires, and the floor pan is about six inches above the road surface. I would never attempt to cross water that deep in a sports car of any type, and would be very careful about doing so in a large pickup truck. A high percentage of flood-related fatalities occur when drivers deliberately drive into water of unknown depth.
Even if the car suffered a quick, temporary exposure to water deeper than the car's floor pan, the rate of water entry through a 3/8" hole would be slow, so, as long as the exposure was brief, the water entry should be limited.
