This is my third salvage after Milton came though and it looked like it was going to be the easiest one I’ve had so far today...well, it was other than the stupid rear hatch that I couldn’t get open and fell on my ass trying to open it. I didn’t figure it out until after I had pumped all the water I could out of the boat that it was a power lift hatch, and with the batteries being fried, I had no chance of opening it by hand 🤦‍♂️

AI-Generated Description:
Welcome back to another day of boat salvaging! This is my third salvage operation of the day after Milton came through, and at first, I thought this one was going to be smooth sailing (pun intended). Everything seemed straightforward-until I hit a frustrating roadblock with the rear hatch.
Let me set the scene: I had already started pumping water out of the boat, thinking I was making good progress. Then, I realized the rear hatch wouldn’t budge. Naturally, I tried opening it the old-fashioned way, only to end up flat on my back after a failed attempt 😅. After some trial and error, I discovered the hatch was power-lifted, and with the batteries completely fried from water damage, there was no way to open it by hand. Talk about a curveball!
Despite the setback, I pushed through and managed to pump out as much water as possible. Every salvage is a learning experience, and this one was no exception. Watch the full video to see how it all unfolded, from the initial optimism to the unexpected struggles and eventual success.
