I solved my safe access to the knee tube issue by buying a Chillcheater aquatherm spray deck. http://www.chillcheater.com/products/shop.asp?cid=794&p=1&pid=1620 On the deck there is a drybag style rollup closure. It fits a hand pump without opening the whole deck to the cockpit.I had them custom fit it to my my dimensions without suspenders and it fits the keyhole cockpits of both of my sea boats. They will make one for any boat. You can have map loops added if you want. Mainly I like it because I can store lunch or snacks in my knee tube and access them easily. Final note, I have never had a drier boat than with this spray deck. I haven't had it long enough to make a recommendation one way or another but so far it is pretty sweet.
