If the holes are small, 1/2 " or around there, you can use a wood dowel the same size as the hole.
Cut a the dowel to fit into the hole, coat it with the catalyzed gelcoat and tap it into the hole so it sits about 1/4" below the top cap surface.
Fill the 1/4" with gelcoat to match.
For trying to match gelcoat, it's best to get a pint from the boat manufacturer.
If not, try Minicraft, they have a lot of OEM gels.

Or you can do the same with Marine Tex if not woried about matching the finish.
