It's just a wireless box that hooks up to your existing reversing solenoid or relays. (Unless you just run a DPDT switch) Think of the hatch just like a winch. Instead of in/out it's just up/down.

If your switch for the hatch isn’t a momentary switch then the solenoid also shouldn’t be momentary or intermittent.
Are you sure it’s the solenoid that failed? Usually they’d look like they burned up from the outside. If the hatch rams kept trying to close after the hatch was closed, did it blow a fuse or maybe the rams themselves failed?
I would think that switch for the hatch should be momentary so this wouldn’t happen.

Ok, from you’re first post it read like you hit the switch in the down position and it stayed there. But the switch being momentary makes more sense. Yes, I agree the solenoid is a continuous duty solenoid.

OK just to continue, ..and thanks to all for your advice .....it was a blown fuse and also damaged the solenoids....I think the trim pump suffered damage also ...oil pushed out of the hydraulic ram that lifts the engine hatch.
I guess the the seals blew before the fuse did .....so I think the solenoids were a "continuous" type to begin with and as well as the rocker switch on the dash.....I ordered new "momentary" rocker switches .for the dash in conjunction with new "intermittent" solenoids..........I will try to rebuild the hydraulic ram with new seals!.......Does a hydraulic trim pump need to be bleed when filling it with new oil?...just about everything is shot!

I found Cole-Hersee solenoids which were original to the boat when it was rigged on line & very inexpensive ...Marine type for $19 either "intermittent" ~ or ~ "Continuous"
