What Joe Greenly is doing is exactly what I was seeing in my 'minds-eye.' In my search for grommets the only one the correct size I could find was at Grainger's Supply. Unfortunately they come 30 to a bag - I only need 1 :(
I have moved on to a bulkhead fitting that would be much more waterproof with a quick disconnect under the hatch similar to what is shown on the sites John posted.
Every kayak I build I do something I haven't tried before just to force myself to learn. This hydration idea is a first for me as was building the Petrel using rolling bevels instead of bead and cove. Probably will never go back to that :(
This conversation is extremely helpful, thank you :)
