fool proof.

its a 2600, the seat is attached to the engine hatch and the whole part while lift up when hit good sized rollers

Hood pins ,slide em in before you leave the dock

I dont know if they would work how the hatch comes down. I was looking for something a little more technical and tricky. Like maybe running some door lock solenoids and some hiddens pins on the back side. I just figued somebody else already did something and i was just going to copy them!

I bet your ram is shoot or u have air in it !!!!!!!!!

Think about it ,,,if a hydraulic ram does that then your drives would be all over the place !!!!

Same system !!!

Just fix the ram and u be ok !!

It doesnt seem like the ram is bad, maybe one of the solenoids isnt holding properly. I never really checked how the lines ran, i just figured that maybe on the system that getting it bled fully or getting rid of the slop may not be possible. Hydraulcis seem to always have some play in them.

We all have the same problem. Low pressure hydraulic system. Crank it down tight and the problem goes away. Or switch to mech lift.

that's what I had on my 24' Carlson. Problem was if the pins got out of alignment they were a ***** to line up again.

We have the same problem with our boat hatch. I have been thinking about an electro-magnetic door lock, which could be connected to the hatch switch and release when you open the hatch or you can connect it to the on position on your ignition switch it would only hold when you were running. You could mount it to the hatch in the middle and have the plate attached to the floor.

I think getting an electric hatch activator is allot easyer !!
