When I took my snorkel off and one of the bolts turned inside it I just plugged that hole with a hot glue gun and melted it in there. I didn't use that bolt hole again as there were others to use.

It sealed the hole up neatly and water tight.

You can get stuff called Liquid Plastic from marine shops, available as a spray and brush-on.
Probably do the job.

Or black silicon.
