Seeking: Greenley's Hydration System info *Pic*

Hello all.

Can anybody provide some insight into how Joe Greenley
pulls off his hydration tube for his King? I think this
is a great feature, but I'm confused... Does the tube
stay in the boat with a coupling under the deck to remove
the bladder? How does he maintain a watertight exit port
while allowing the tube to be pulled up or pushed back?

The only scheme I've been able to come up with involves
a closed-cell foam "gasket" under the deck that the tube
passes through? Anyone checked out the real thing?
