You want all screws to have a dab of sealant (not adhesive) under the head.
Whie I buy a boat, I go around and back out all the screws and add a dab then retighten, wipe excess.
For the desert tan gelcoat, Locketite Marine Epoxy in white cures to a very close color match. Use packing tape to get a smooth finish.
