4000 Express - Manually Open Garage Hatch
#1
Help,

My garage door closed and now will not open. Is there a way to manually raise the door? I think the fluid is low. The catch is that to access the hydraulics you must open the garage door. 

Thanks, 
John

Yessir.  Open the round ports that are in the aft-facing settee & disconnect the pins that hold the hydraulic system to the door & you can open the door by hand.

Thanks! You're a life saver. Marine tech wanted to put boat on the hard to repair. Tiara has thought of everything.

We have a 3500 Express, I unbolted the top hinges and got the trunk open.
