  It may help to put the upper part of the tube from your spray skirt under 
your waterproof top- then your PFD over that.  Most of the water entering 
your boat comes down the tube-- if you don't have leaks that is.  If you 
have a good neck gasket that should help with the water down the back 
and into the boat problem.
