Exterior Equipment
If the boat battery is dead, the engine hatch can
be raised by using a jumper battery connected to
the emergency jumper terminals in the battery
switch panel using the jumper harness provided
with your boat. To raise the hatch using a jumper
battery, remove the plastic caps on the emergency
jumper terminals and connect the red clamps on
the harness to the positive terminal on the jumper
battery and red emergency terminal. Then con-
nect the black clamps to the negative battery
terminal first and then to the black emergency
terminal. Once the jumper battery is connected,
use the Engine Hatch switch in the helm switch
panel to raise the engine hatch.
If a jumper battery is not available or the electric
actuator fails, the hatch can be raised manually by
disengaging the actuator from the engine hatch.
To lift the hatch manually, open the stern storage
compartment on the port side of the engine hatch
and remove the access plate on the starboard side
of the compartment. Reach through the open ac-
cess plate and remove the quick release pin in the
hinge fitting at the top of the actuator.
Once the pin is removed, the engine hatch can be
lifted to the open position. The engine hatch is
heavy and requires two people to lift it. Additionally
you should be prepared to support the hatch in the
open position with 2 x 4 of the proper length. The
support must be installed so that it can't slip and
allow the engine hatch to fall. Repair the engine
hatch actuator and properly attach it to the boat
and engine hatch before performing any other ser-
vice to components in the engine compartment.
WARNING
THE ENGINE HATCH IS HEAVY AND CAN DAMAGE THE BOAT OR
CAUSE SEVERE INJURY TO PEOPLE WORKING IN THE ENGINE
COMPARTMENT IF IT FALLS. ALWAYS HAVE A PERSON MONITOR
THE TEMPORARY ENGINE HATCH SUPPORT TO MAKE SURE IT
CANNOT SLIP WHILE THE ENGINE HATCH ACTUATOR IS BEING
REPAIRED. NEVER ENTER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHILE
IT IS SUPPORTED BY THE TEMPORARY SUPPORT WITHOUT
SOMEONE HOLDING THE SUPPORT TO ENSURE IT CAN'T SLIP
AND ALLOW THE HATCH TO FALL.
Aft Facing Jump Seat
The starboard aft facing jump is standard on the
M5. The M5 models are equipped with a carry-
on slide-out cooler in the compartment below the
seat. The cooler is accessed through a door in the
side of the seat base that is secured with a push
Engine Hatch Actuator and Emergency Quick Release Pin
M5 Standard Aft Facing Jump Seat and Slide-Out Cooler
to close latch. The cooler is mounted on a slide
track in the compartment. When the door is open,
the cooler can be slid out of the compartment for
easy access or removal. Always make sure the
cooler is slid inside the compartment with the
door securely latched before operating the boat
above idle speed.
