Not sure what "keeping the water out" would do for you. Carbon fiber and resin aren't affected by water unless it would get in and freeze. That would cause any cracks to enlarge, but where you are hardly ever freezes.
However, one way that it might help would be to lock any frayed fibers together and minimize problems for you if you happened to touch it.
