There are those who know more than I do but I would guess that, as was the case with mine, that the manufacturer and/or previous owners had put screws into the deck for securing different things. Over time, water gets in, and rots them out, allowing more water to get in. I am in the process of re-building mine and have been going over this very subject in my head. It seems that if you completely seal the deck, you should not get any water under there unless you breach your hull. Now if you decide to screw something to your deck, and it is not sealed properly (silicon doesn't cut it) it was allow water in down there and the vicious cycle will begin again.
