Well,  there is another possible source:  a leak where the coaming attaches  
to the hull.  This is an easy one to chase:  stick your head  inside the 
boat, with a headlamp on, and have a compliant helper spray  gentle streams 
under the coaming edge, making sure the spray is not coming  over the 
coaming edge.  Move around the coaming and you should see  water if you have 
any detachment.

I had a deck fitting on my NDK Poseidon emit water into my day hatch. It  
took me a long time to find it and fix it. A garden hose over every fitting or  
deck penetration makes alot of sense in finding a leak. However, I'll bet that 
a  change in spraydeck will get Mark the results he wants. So many decks are  
reflective of the name "spray" deck as that's about all they can handle before 
 you take on water.
