rear hatch/battery question

I was wondering if I install a round hatch in the back area of a 2019 outback if there is room for the Hobie battery mount to fit.
Has anyone installed one and mounted their battery there?
I don't want to have it installed and not be able to use it for the battery.
Thanks so much for any input.

Fits perfect!

Thanks so much that is exactly what i needed to know.
I really appreciate your help.

FPV also have a brilliant hatch kit for their lithium batteries... The 17.5 AH battery fits perfectly.

Good info, I am planning to do the same.

Thanks for the pics.

I recently installed the rear 8” hatch and oriented it with the lid to open toward bow (opposite the pic shown). This orientation from a You Tube rigging video. Is there any difference other than can’t easily access while on the water?

Also, I noticed the rudder pull line moves across the hatch opening when pulled and cleated. Is there a need to route the line around the hatch under the hull or is this OK?

Thanks for any advice.
