Hobie Hatch Install

Has anyone installed an 8" hatch on the back of their Revo?  It seems like Hobie forgot something!!!

what model year revo are you talking about? i thought they had a rear circular hatch.

I installed an 8" on my Quest.  There is a spot on the back of my hull that has a hobbie logo, that fit the 8 inch perfectly, like it was meant to be there.  I placed the outer ring in there, took a sharpie, and made dots where the screws were meant to go, and drew around the inner part of the ring.  Next I took a center punch and staked where I wanted my holes to go. Rechecked everything (measure twice and cut once).  I took the high speed dremel out with a cutting bit, and went around traced outline and cut that out, placed my ring in and screwed it, with some silicone sealant around the ring that goes in the hull.  secured it all together with stainless hardware, and stainless nyloc nuts.  It came out pretty decent.  (sorry no pics, as this happened after I drowned the camera in texas).
