I would not want a round hatch at that location. Any water build up in the trunk will eventually leak through that circle hatch.
I guess you expect the seal you install to leak. Not sure a lot of water would collect there. There are scuppers and it would appear that there is a slope toward the scuppers.
Not the gasket during install, but the hatch "o-ring" on the lid itself. These are prone to leak if sand/debris gets in it and/or "o-ring" twists. Also scuppers are on the opposite side. If the back is loaded down, water will collect over the round hatch. Just something to keep in mind.
I don’t think you’re going to be opening it a lot for one, but really who cares if you get a drip here or there. You are in a kayak a few inches off the water, and you and it are going to get wet, and probably eventually dirty, its a management thing!
