Hi Brian,
My bigger concern would be with expansion and contraction. Of course a deck plate in the bulkhead would take care
of this also but would be hard to reach. My thinking is the amount of air trapped would be small and the surrounding
construction so strong this wouldn't be a problem. Is this a flawed idea? Then again aren't there valves that would
allow for air pressure adjustment without letting in non pressurized water?
