I think using a screwdriver and teenuts is way to inconvient. On a recent river trip I must of have opened and closed hatches 20 times a day. One boat had dzus connectors and by the end of the trip they were a real pane cause you had to align the studs. The kayak with straps was somewhat more convient.
