Also, try to put as much weight in the back and not the front. That'll help the nose submarine at least a little bit less.

Art: I've put extra gasket material on the Trident, as well. I'd like to see what you come up with after you put it together.

You might try, in addition to (or in lieu of) the standard rubber trim, section(s) of thin armaflex-type pipe insulation, split lengthwise on one side, slid over the kayak side of the opening, and held in place with "goop". Get the narrowest you can and experiment with it first before you "goop" it in place. This way you will have two gaskets working for you...

I don't have any pics of Grego's ride...but I know he added a bunch of extra straps to his Extreme hatch...I think his front hatch seal is tighter than a YT butt.
