Super Sport battery and hatch??

At least you got the hatch open.

I was on a Mississippi River trip with a nautique from around that time and the solenoid would pop,, but the mechanism's screws backed out far enough that it would not release the latch. It took me a bit of time with a flat thin piece of metal, and someone pressing the button when I thought I had it lined up properly.

Eventually I got it, and all I had to do to fix it was tighten the screws down on it.

The funny thing was that latch was rattling all weekend and I mentioned that, but I was told it always does that and it doesn't bother anything. Until they wanted to get the wakeboard out of that hatch that last time, I guess it wasn't an issue.

That would have bothered me as soon as it made any rattles, and I would have never had that issue if the boat was mine.

There is a pin at the top and the bottom of the actuator. Not sure how you run the hatch on the keypad boats. Mine has a toggle switch aft of the throttle that operates it.

Planetnautique doesn't seem to be working right now. I don't want to give you bad advice. I'm pretty sure that you have to lift the back seat out.

However, I don't know if the back seat just lifts out, or if there are screws. My boat is a 2001 with the triple hatch, so 1) this is not an issue, and 2) by 2001, they had knob screws hold the back seat in which can only be accessed through the back storage area.

Once the seat is out, then I am told there is a pin you can pull on the hudraulic, ram which should be on the right/starboard side of the boat, and lift the hatch. Otherwise, the battery should be located on the left/port side of the boat, and you should be able to put a battery charger on it, and lift the hatch electrically.

If the back seat lift out with no screws, it should come up pretty easily. You won't have to yank on it. There are a couple of carpeted soft panels between the seat and the storage area, they just pull out.

Again, I don't want to tell you to just yank the seat out and come to find out it is screwed in.

You know, I was starting to think it has to be under there. Typical! Well, I guess correct craft isn't immune from funny designs like the other manufacturers.

I'll head over to planet nautique, thanks for the help!

Working on a 2000 75th anniversary super sport today.

Is the hatch electric release? Is there a manual release?

Battery is dead, where is the battery on these boats?
