I got several responses (to the whole list and some back channel) to my query on Knee Tubes. Thanks to all for the suggestions, and options. I've got some thinking to do now that I've read and seen (via photos on web-sites) what others have done. If anyone else has suggestions, it's not too late to send them :-) - I'm still sorting through all the options to determine which will work best for me. I might even do "dual" tubes - one open, and one sealed.

Will email more details if requested. Such a design is available on the market also. Two sizes, unclips and slides back into your lap for access through a double-zipped top access flap. Very convenient for glovebox items but not for quick-draw safety equipment. Sorry I don't have the manufacturer in mind, but if anyone is interested, I could get that info for the cost of a reply.

Also means drilling holes in kayak to attach. URL at http://www.kayakfit.com/ .
