I use Interlux or Pettit underwater seam compound. It's like a putty. Works great and holds up well.

Smiths "Fill-it" is my product of choice.

Re: what filler to use
I've used marine grade "bondo", which is the same as a product called Kitty Hair, plastic or bondo saturated with fibre glass.
But now I use CPES over any bare wood and Smith's Fill-it for screw holes.
