The Hobie 8 in. Twist and Seal Hatch is the standard hatch on Hobie kayaks. Older models can easily upgrade to the twist and seal. The twist and seal is a unique mechanism that allows for one hand operation and it ensures that the hatch is sealed. The hinged lid keeps the hatch lid with the kayak at all times and the rubber gasket keeps the hatch dry.

Standard Hobie part. Cutting the hole in the deck was scary, but actually ended being easy. The rest of the installation was also easy. I am happy with the purchase.

Put the hatch in the bow of a Compass. Had jitters about cutting the hole in the deck, but otherwise a simple process and the hatch works great.

Recently I purchased two Hobie 8" Twist & Seal hatches for a boat I am building. This boat is a Wharram Tiki 26 catamaran which is almost more kayak than sailboat. I had searched the web for a suitable 8" round hatch. These by Hobie fit the bill. Ordering these hatches over the web from Austin Canoe & Kayak (ACK) was a very positive experience. The shipped them the same day and they arrived ahead of schedule. The best part was ACK's free shipping if you buy over $50. When one of the hatches arrived with a manufacturing defect, ACK and Hobie took care of it right away. These guys are totally service oriented. The hatches will be installed in the next couple of weeks so to see pictures go to http://tiki26.blogspot.com.
Thanks ACK!
