Most boats are going to change shape a bit when floating, as opposed to when sitting on stands, since the weight is distributed differently, and the presence of water will affect the way the hull distorts.
Make sure your bilge pumps work and the batteries are topped off... to take care of the inevitable water that does get in until you have the seal adjusted properly.
If it was red locktite, it will need to be heated to be loosened as a general rule. Using blue locktite, instead of neverseez is probably a good idea.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
