I have not had much of a problem with this because I do not get  that  
much water over the edge of my spray deck in my particular boat. I  
have my wind jacket over the outside of the deck tunnel when it gets  
rough.

What about Tuliks? I have one of these that I use with one of my boats  
and it works well.

There are also kayak designs that do not become so unstable when the  
paddlers compartment becomes full of water. I think that boats that DO  
become unstable to have a serious flaw (although it is common)
