S&G: hatches on flat deck

I'm building a Pygmy Queen Charlotte 19, with a flat deck, and I'd like to make wood hatch covers instead of using the plastic ones that Pygmy sells. How do I tighten down the hatch covers on a flat deck to prevent leaks? This is my first boat, any input on hatch design would be appreciated.
