[Tiara Open] Engine Hatch will not open

[IrvingVet]

I can not say enough on thanks for the replies. I usually have the seat out of the lounge arrangement most of the time checking engines, generator, etc. I never knew there was a sensor stoping the helm from rising if the seat was in place. I knew the seat had to be out to open to have clearance but did not know it would not open if the seat was in. One of those embarrassing moments. I called Tiara yesterday and they mentioned it may have a sensor but they were not 100% sure on my year 2001 model 3100 Open. I later called the new Tiara dealer in the Annapolis area "North Point" and they confirmed there was probably a sensor so when I checked yesterday and read get the response from the group the problem has been resolve. I will keep the new fuse in and switch.

Thanks again,
