If by "tether" you mean "leash", I'd fear the hood flopping around on a tether in an "Oh sheet" moment, at speed, right behind your head while you are at the tiller.
Perhaps you can come up with something that locks or pins the two parts of the hood latch together. Kind of like a safety on a trigger.
