Interesting idea, Courtney. Dzus fittings --- wow. Those things were standard fasteners on Navy airplanes when I started flying them 31 years ago! And they were old technology then! Did the North Bay driver say how he waterproofed the fitting? Typically, Dzus fittings have an external rotating head attached to a shaft which turns within a bayonet-type fitting inside. The shaft is not meant to be water-resistant, and I was wondering how your paddler sealed up the rotational fitting? Thanks for the info.
