Hi I forgot to mention that there is a slight height difference (about 1/8 inch) on the hatches from the factory and the surrounding cap. that means you need a spacer under half the flat hinge. I used a coping saw to cut spacers from a piece of 1/8 inch black starboard I had, drilled them the same as the hinge to take care of that.
it shows in these two pics.
Of course you could order 7/8 inch board if it is available, or take down the bottom edge of your new hatch with the router as a final step to make them fit flush (7/8 inch height instead of 1 inch). Take your time and it should work out ok either way. Good luck, TJ
