Engine Hatch

My Engine hatch is closed, very tight and will not open?  Is there anyway to release it?

12 Volt to Switch and 12 volts going out of switch on Green and Yellow Wire.

    Jesse, I just contacted my dealer to ask what he would do in your situation as I don't have experience with power operated hatches, here's what he sent me:

    "Try either the small tub on rear to reach pull pin to release the hatch or also make sure there is power at the dash for switch first. With out looking at access plates on boat this would be my first steps."

    Hope that helps!

    Just got another message from my dealer.  He said that maybe one of the 4" vents may be near enough to where the pin is to remove it as well.  Those vents can be pried out to gain access.  Hope you have skinny arms!

    Tks.. We are going to try to jump the switch and see if switch is out.. Getting in there to pull the pin is difficult (not to mention, the hatch has pressure on it which makes it extremely hard to remove).. But I have a plan.. Tks for the help...
