The relative motion betwixt water and a fixed point on the hull is a function of the amount of roll the ark undergoes.
It won't roll much (unless it rolls over and capsizes). If the width of the ark is greater than the wavelength of the waves, they won't have much of an effect on it.

Re: Whatever floats your boat
Consider: if a 'lifeboat' float had sufficient buoyancy to carry 40 people without being submerged and that resistance to submersion was instead directed into a pump by the rolling action of the ark then poo you would most certainly pump.
If "resistance to submersion" were redirected into a pump, instead of being used to resist submersion, then the lifeboat would sink. Once it sunk there would be nothing there to help the pump.

How can you even fathom the ark without contemplating God?
The same way I can fathom Aesop's fables without contemplating God.
