2 batteries
They aren't dead, I was just wondering how I can get the hatch open if they do die. A switch, or leads in the passenger compartment that I could connect cables to would work. I just don't know where it is.

There should be 2 threaded bolts sticking thru the seat base towards the starboard side, one has a red cover over it. That is the positive one, the other is the negative. If needed, you hook up power to those points and then you can open the hatch.

This is what I have. Thanks for the help. I also found an isolator switch for the batteries that I did not know about.

On our old Wellcrafts, the screw shaft for the engine hatch included a decent amount of 'play'. If the batteries died, you could pull the hatch up some and release a pin. Then you propped the hatch up on something else.
Don't ask me why, butbetween the batteries dying and fault screw shaft system, we did that alot.

I have 1 battery under the seat (that controls the hatch) and the switch is under the hatch as well. Its a good thing too, when I bought the boat, the batteies were weak, and I could not get the hatch open. would have been screwed, if it wasn't set up this way.
