My engine hatch stopped working this weekend. I am thinking fuze but can't find a label for the engine hatch. I found one for just about every button but that one. I also have a problem with the radio. It stays on when the boat is moving but when the boat is stopped, about 5 minutes later the radio goes dead. I really don't want to pay someone to look at it so any help is appreciated. It is a V258 07. I looked through the owner's manual but it is pretty vague and doesn't answer these type questions.

Your radio problem points to a battery problem which could also be your hatch problem. The screw drives works on the batteries if the batteries aren't strong enough to run a radio they surely can't run the screw drive.

Your hatch does have a fuse, if you want to check that. See pg 255 below

Fuse #13 looks like 20a for the engine hatch.
