Better to have cut the opening a little small and then have to (carefully) enlarge it than to have cut it too big. Congratulations. Getting the nerve up to make that first cut was the hardest part. Making sure the base plate for the jigsaw is tight and square is one of the small details that help. Also, covering the door with masking tape to help protect the finish and cutting from the inside (teeth pulling toward the inside) with a fine-tooth, long blade really helps to avoid chipping of the outer gel-coat.
