MJ, normally I'd agree with you, but after putting in the better part of a winter tearing out the deck and all the old, water saturated foam, then going thru the cost and work of putting in new foam and resealing the deck and etc etc etc... Well, I've come to believe that if I can keep the water out of there my foam will stay dryer longer. So I'm doing my damnist to do just that. The deck is sealed, I put in all new hatches and gaskets on the deck, sealed the rod holders bottoms, and repaired the tiny holes in the under gunnel rod holders corners. In short, I've made it as waterproof under the deck as I can think of.... and I'll be constantly checking to see if I've been successful.
