What is the general consensus on sealing the deck for aluminum boats?  There's 3 limber holes per rib.  I'm thinking I should seal a plywood deck everywhere so saltwater cannot drip underdeck, but about the aft rib?  If we return from diving dripping in saltwater, and saltwater drips into the bilge, then a wave drops our bow down, saltwater would enter below deck through the aft limber holes. I won't successfully be able to hose under the deck with fresh water, so is it best to also cork/seal the 3 aft limber holes while boat is in use?</blockquote>
