I'm looking for opinions on what type hinges to use on a hatch door. The hatch will be in the stern behind the seat and give access for the drain plug and a little storage area. I was thinking of a piano hinge but the decking will only be 1/2" Plywood and that will not give much to screw into. I found these stainless hinges https://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp;jsessionid=I3VQRSPFZASVNLAQBBJSCO3MCAEFIIWE?id=0004960011932a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCH_all&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&Ntk=Products&QueryText=hinge&sort=all&_D%3AhasJS=+&N=0&Nty=1&hasJS=true&_DARGS=%2Fcabelas%2Fen%2Fcommon%2Fsearch%2Fsearch-box.jsp.form23&_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&_requestid=114649 and was wondering if they would work alright. I realize that they will sit on top of the carpeting but I doubt it should be an issue.
