Bilge
Bilge Access
Accessing the bilge in your 280 is made easy. First, locate the controls on the electronic
lift assist, labeled “Hatch”, mounted on the starboard side of the tackle station directly
across from the gunwale. Next, press and hold the top button on the controls. This will
cause the rear access to lift revealing the bilge access. To lower the hatch simply press
and hold the bottom button on the control panel until the aft section is fully closed.
Remember that the electronic lift assist operates using the house battery system.
In the event that the boat does not have power to electronically lift the hatch, the
electronic lift can be disengaged by lowering the bench seat and using the access
opening shown below to remove the pin from the
electronic ram. Keep in mind that at this point the hatch
will no longer be supported in the up position and will
require being held up to maintain access to the bilge.
Once the work in the bilge is finished and power is
restored to the hatch lift, it is important to attach the ram
to the hatch with the pin once again to secure the door in
the closed position.
Note: The aft seat backrest must be removed to fully open the hatch.
Failure to remove the backrest will result in damage to the backrest
and possibly the hatch lifting mechanism.
