RE: CO2..
Uni just steered you to the right source. The Palmer Rock the Boat comes in a model that threads directly to the CO2 cartidges, is relieving, and is adjustable pressure. I have a couple in combat vessels. They are a tad long (but shorter than any other solution I have found that uses disposable cartridges), but are extremely lightweight compared to other regulartors.
