the hatch i used was too large for my application but it is installed .... It goes into the transition and closes but not quite water tight but dos the job pretty well... i am going to change the gasket and this should fix the sealing issue for now... i also think i would opt for a adjustable latches ... the hatch i bought dont adjust or this would also take care of te issue .... th large hatch is great when accessing the bilge though !! i have a picture of the cut out but not after installation ... ill try to get one when i get home next week..
