A surface includes a first side defining a wet surface and a second side defining a dry surface. The second side is opposite the first side. The surface has an opening extending between the first side and the second side, and a seal system covering the opening. The seal system includes a flexible seal member insertable through the opening. The flexible seal member engages the wet surface. A tension member is connected to the flexible seal member. The tension member extends through the opening and is configured to apply a tension force to the flexible seal member to engage against the wet surface to close the opening.
