Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, only the original Lewmar hatches that came with the boat have hinges that can clear the lip you describe when mounted facing aft. These are no longer available new and exceedingly hard to find used.

I was able to find one on Ebay after a long time searching.

Otherwise, you'd have to build a riser all the way around the hatch hole to mount a new hatch if you want aft facing...

:: The Lewmar Series 40 hatch hinges seem to pivot close to
:: the deck. It looks like the raised lip on the deck,
:: forward of the hatch, will prevent a 180-degree opening,
:: and would require a forward facing hatch with hinges on
:: the aft side? For aft-facing hatches I’ve seen metal
:: straps that pivot on hinges that are raised about 1 ¼
:: inch above the deck. I’m guessing that is original and
:: wonder if those hinges are still available.
