You can add this Beckson screw-in hatch to any flat place on your kayak's deck (fits best on a 6 3/4 inch flat area). The rim included will not accommodate a bag.

Additional Information
Most five inch screw hatches have the same cut-out template and six bolt pattern. While the lids from one brand of hatch will not fit the rim of another brand hatch, the large hole and six small screw holes on your kayak deck will accept most five inch screw-in hatch brands. If the lid does not fit, remove the old rim and replace it with the new rim.

This hatch is NOT just a replacement cover. It is a two part hatch kit, cover AND rim. You MUST remove the cover from the new rim to use it as a replacement cover. Please see the video for more info:
