Thanks for the input guys. When I removed the tube, the hole orientation was at the six oclock position which would let water drain into the hull. I guess I'll seal the hole in the rear bungee tubes and leave the front ones open for venting. Ferminj, did you use 3M 5200 for the tube/gromment installation and were you satisfied with it? I'm getting about a 1-1/2 quarts of water in each hull for a day of sailing, which isn't bad for an older boat.
