: Exactly what I was looking for...

: I presume you mean that you cut the hatch cover maybe a 1/2 inch larger (not
: smaller) than the hole.

1/2" smaller than the inside of the kayak--about 1"-1 1/2" larger than the hole.

: a thumb screw and a T nut are pictured below.. I had to look them up to know
: exactly what was intended:

Those look neat, but are probably more expensive than the SS ones you might find at the local hardware store.
