I have a starboard rectangle screwed and 5200'd in place to cover the opening. On the starboard I cut an opening for a 6 in. Beckson screw in circular hatch with a clear cover. I can unscrew the circle hatch for quick access and enough room for small work like getting the screen on my pumps cleaned off if needed. The clear cover lets me see if water is in there. If I need to make bigger repairs I remove the larger cover and re do the 5200. Works well for me on my 18.
