In your opinion which hatch is the most water tight.? screw out,twist an seal or Gaspachi Round Hatch iv had them all on different kayaks in the past but would like to see what you guys think...Im leaning towards the gaspachi hatch as the most water tight

Gaspachi would be the tightest sealing. If it is a hatch that I am going in and out of throughout the day, I'd rather have a hinged keyed one for ease of use.

Thanks iceman its going to be a safety hatch behind the tankwell with a dry bag inside the catch bag
