Hatch hinges?

Organising to get an engine cover and looking to buy some hinges any suggestions?
Would a pair these be OK?

googling threw up some fancy hidden jobs they look solid but not cheap (80US) and probably heavy

Yep I like those hinges as it only takes 30 seconds to get the engine cover off.

I have used those separating butterfly hinges on a couple of builds. Don't use them any more. Have had them
apart on 2 separate occasions on 2 separate boats. I don't know how but they did
and the cover came loose they only engage by about 5mm.
They are handy for removing engine cover quickly(if running a rover engine) bt I stick a gas strut on the engine cover so need tools to remove cover anyway.
I like those second ones. Nice and tucked away hidden but you do need to cut a decent size hole in the transom to fit them?

They work ok when set-up correctly
that is opposing and tight.

I've had a set of these on the Rover powered boat for years now.
Both the hinges and the engine have been faultless.
It's all in the setup.
