A 5 pound protein powder container is 8" diameter. The .25" difference is enough room to pop-rivet "L" tabs on the outside top edge to hang the bucket from the hatch ring, plus it's about 2" deeper than the Hobie bucket

Still looking for better options ... something with the top lip already built in.

To clear the twist latch looks like about 3" along the circumference, 1" down. A curve might work, rather than a rectangle notch, shaped by the end of my belt sander, or maybe a drum sander.
