Thanks Ross, I glassed the hatches last night and popped the covers off this morning. I left about a 1/16" recess by taping them in the hole a little low which worked fine as the tape on a curved deck forces them in a little anyway. The silicone seal trick looks like the way to go. I hope to glass the deck & hull together this weekend.
