Has anyone put seaplane grommets on? I know the standard drain hole is probably sufficient, but I kinda like the looks of the seaplane grommet. Any thoughts? Do you think it makes a difference?

Flying Carbon Cub EX #11 since 2011
In my last cub I used them in the bottom of my fuselage. Good idea on the wiring, I'm going to use that one.

I used them on the bottom of the elevator between each rib just because that area gets drenched with every landing. A potential drawback is that they can pop off since they are simply glued on although I have not had any fall off yet. I think they are marginally better than a hole for areas that pick up a lot of water but that's just an unscientific opinion. The most important thing in a seaplae is to be darn sure every area that can trap water has a drain hole.
