Sea Ray 275

[Ray Ryan]

Can anyone advise on how to raise my engine hatch when the batteries appear dead?
Shore power is connected and showing volts and battery charger switch is to 'on' but still no power to the dc.

not sure on this specific boat but there is normally a way to access one end of the ram to release the securing bolts.

A small 12v battery hooked up via the cigarette lighter might provide enough juice to lift the hatch.
But really, you need to figure out why you have no DC power.
Are there breakers / fuses you can check?

B. ELECTRIC COCKPIT/ENGINE HATCH
Open the cockpit/engine hatch by pressing the
ENGINE HATCH switch on the helm switch pad.
Note: The transom door has a magnetic switch built
into it. The transom door must be opened completely
and latched for the ENGINE HATCH switch to
operate.
POWER FAILURE & COCKPIT/ENGINE HATCH
In the event of power failure the engine hatch can
be opened by removing the pin from the top of the
electric actuator ram where it attaches to the
cockpit/engine hatch and then lifting the hatch.
Practice this procedure several times to become
familiar with pin locations.
To Manually Lift Cockpit/Engine Hatch:
1. Have a 2x4 or similar object ready to prop up
the hatch after it is lifted.
1. Open actuator access plate on the floor of the
cockpit/engine hatch. (under the aft seat.)
2. Reach inside and feel immediately to the right
and find the pin.
