You could trim the Hobie intake tube a little (so its flush with hull) and you can launch and land without ever messing with it at all. At just the right length, it will self-prime while pedalling, yet still can be beached with no problem. I have a postage-stamp sized, fine (window) screen gooped on the intake hole, and honestly, have never had a clog.
I have also customized the straps and installed 45 degree PVC trolling rod holders using a 90 degree PVC elbow and a few huge zip ties (Home Depot). See below, this is the main thing that they left out of my original requirements for a La Jolla perfect tank ...
