OK RodPod hatch cover upgrade - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The length of the ribbed support section on the new hatch is 25 1/2 inches.

The inside dimension of my old Rod Pod is about 25 inches.

And on my new yak it is slightly bigger than 25 1/2 inches.

I would need to cut out the part that returns down into the hull as well as a bit of the top flat part of my Pod base to get the length I need to fit the new hatch. Here is the difference between the two on mine. Here you see the plastic returning down into the hull.

And on the new one you just see the flat area on top.

Maybe it is just my yak, or my model year or something?
