Hello All,
I am a new member to CSR and not real sure of the protocol to use here, so please bear with me.
I had trouble two weeks ago when I tried to open the engine hatch on my 2007 290 Sundancer. I had to constantly press and let go, press, let go, until the hatch opened all the way. It took about 30 minutes.
According to my parts manual there is a magnetic switch in the transom door, that when open, send a signal to the control circuit that the hatch can be opened. (Is this really true?) I removed the catch that latches the transom door and there is no evidence of any wiring. I even tried a magnet but not sure if the polarity was correct. Now when I press the hatch up/down switches it does nothing at all.
How do I open the hatch manually?
and can the handle on the aft bench seat handle the weight of the hatch?
Thanks
