Will the bungie cord "wick" water through the hole? My hatches are sealed pretty well and I'm concerned about condensation build-up. I store my kayak outside, on a rack I built on my fence, (bottom up) under a tree but it's still exposed to rain and such. Thanks for any feedback.

: I used this method for hatch holddowns on my Coho and it works great, no
: leaks!!! I stretched the bungee and wraped vinyl electrical tape (3M)
: around the stretched area, released the tension on the bungee and cut
: accross the taped area with a razor blade. The taped area stayed the size
: it was while stretched. It wont stay on very long, so insert it quickly in
: the undersized hole. Worked for me.
