I've had good results using grease to bed the cover. Nothing to build up or remove. I suppose if you dove a few feet under there might be enough pressure to force water thru there. I always use my rod as a wading staff and have never opened one of my 704s and found it full of water, a few drops maybe. They are the easiest reel to open up, inspect and relube.
