: I guess it would work, but for me I would rather use the vents I
: posted in the link because the gore tex is protected and you
: could use the lash point to tie off a bungee for the hatch lid.
: If you did a gore-tex "home made" vent I would suggest
: sandwiching the gore tex between two pieces of plywood with
: holes drilled in each piece that line up together. That way the
: gore tex fabric doesn't get snagged on gear and pulled off.

An 1/8" hole in the middle of the kayak's bulkhead works just as well and is trouble free and very cheap "free".
