Beefy wood chisels work well. If it was any kind of good quality silicone you may have a hard time removing 100% of it without slightly scratching or marring the gelcoat inderneath it. You can sand/buff out minor marks in gel.

Try a new rasor blade and soapy water. Acetone will remove most silicones. If it's to hard.!? mild MEK with water or even Xylol deluted with water.
I had good luck removing all types of silicone and rubber with those three methods.
Carefull with MEK and Xylol. Tough chit.

There isn't much that will hurt gelcoat surface except wood chisels and razors blades. I have learn the hard way and spent hours try to repair the damage. You may also try 3 m product that is made from citrus . It works well..
