It comes with the territory as you go larger .--- more holes .
Two options in my mind
1- One can ensure the pipes are double clipped with quality SS clamps and regularly check the jubilee clips and replace if they appear corroded .
Or 2- Usually sea cocked ,so if you want you could lift various panels ,open inspection plates , look under bunks ( after lifting the mattress ) , crawl around the E room and close them all EVERY time you leave the boat .
Reversing the procedure when you arrive .
Add in frequency of use , confidence in your insurance , how risk averse you are -- your personal ability to deal with hassle in life - each to there own .
It's not worth worrying about - really imho .
Each year 5 airliners are lost globally , on average - but it does not stop you booking a cheap flight .
On older boats - replace the skin fitting s -- but that's NA here
