My only issue is going to be removing the cap to check for water levels. I am afraid I might eventually separate the ABS adapter from the hull since the cap is so rigid and difficult to remove. Also, last question. Did you sanitize the GOOP in the interior of the adapter (seepage) or do you think it matters? I am guessing with all glue and adhesives, as they dry air bubbles appear......what do ya think???

Anyway, thanks for you expertise!
You could make a small inspection hole in the cap and seal it with a rubber plug. That would allow you to clamp down the cap and never have to worry about removing it.
