I've installed PVC lining holes on Royalex canoes, but don't know about doing that on a Kevlar boat. Anyone done lining holes on a precious layup canoe?

The original (discontinued) Tug-eyes had a version for composite hull use that somehow passed through and sealed (?) the floatation tanks.
I don’t recall exactly how those composite hull Tug-eyes were designed and can’t envision how to DIY lower lining holes through a floatation tank.
If you are putting simple painter line holes above the float tank we have those on several composite canoes and they are nothing special. Even the OEM ones are just a flanged plug, not even reinforced on the inside.
Well I'm a little intimidated by the float compartment. If tugeye kits were still available I might try it. I don't think the rigid pvc treatment would be satisfactory.
