Just an FYI. I have a 2005 320DA. The hatch lift was inoperative. Needed to manually lift the hatch since the cb, relay, etc. are located in bilge. Mechanic used a forklift and when he was looking for a point to attach a line to he found an inspection port cover under the seat in the forward section of the cockpit. It was similar to the two ports used to access the actuator pins on the aft portion of the hatch. He attached a "T" bar to a line and thru that port lifted the hatch.
As it turns out that port aligns with the aft EIM and hatch lift cb. One could simply unscrew that port and reach in to reset the hatch lift cb.
My hatch lift cb had tripped and upon reset the hatch lift performed normally. Expensive lesson to find that access port. Nowhere have I found any mention of that port, owners manual, club searay, or email reply regarding my situation from Sea Ray.
Hope this info helps anyone else as they troubleshoot and inoperative hatch lift. Seems a few other sized boats have a similar set up.
