I have a 2018 280 Sundancer. The last person that put the boat away about 1 month ago left the battery switch in the "Both" position. Today I went to get the boat and the batteries were dead. The hatch would not open. I tried to access the hatch opening to pull the pin from the hydraulic actuator, but it appears to be under stress and wont come undone. I pluged in the shore power and turned on the battery chargers, but after 3 hours, the juice was not sufficient to raise the hatch. Suggestions??? Also once I have access to the engine bay, I want to put in some sort of shortcut to the hatch actuator so that I can access it with out having go through all of this BS. Suggestions??????????? Thanks for your help in advance.
