No over-ride. Last year my batteries were so dead (and shot!) that I had a fully charged, brand new deep cycle battery, + a 900ca jump pack hooked up to the screws that stick through the back seat, and the hatch BARELY lifted enough for me to disconnect the old batteries.

:coolcowboy:

Seems like a dumb design to me. I could never figure out why a lot of boat manufacturers put the switch in the hatch itself, instead of under the back seat, where it is accessible without operating the engine hatch.

My 252 is like other have said, switch and jump post under the back seat.

BUT Used to have a SeaRay 260 over nighter. (simalar disign, big sun pad, bench seat, captins chairs.)

well there was one cusion on the sun pad that had a separate hindge, that allowed you to lift that one cusion and get to and access hole/ circle thing you twist out and then you could reach you hand throught hte sun pad hatch, and either turn the batter switch, ot pull the pin on the ram that lifted the hatch, then you could manually lift it and do what ever.
