Granpafish, you can see the screws and bolts/locknuts from the inside of the cabin. I put sealant on and around about 5 screws a couple years ago when I got rain water coming through at the rubrail height. I did this from the inside. I haven't had water come through the bolt locations. All I did was coat around the threads and it stopped. I use Lifecaulk but you can use your favorite sealant. I saw the other reply on the forward bilge hose letting in water from wave action. I haven't seen that with mine, though it depends on boat loading, type of boating weather and more. Could also be layout, as I have a 2530.
