Rectangle hatch install question

[Mr. NiceGuy]

Octico, do you have to twist your legs out of the way to get the lid open?

What year is your kayak?

I was looking at newer year Outbacks yesterday with the same thought in mind -- they have a flatter deck with more space than my 2014 Outback. A rectangular hatch will fit on a 2014, but there is not much of a margin around the edges.
