You don't mention if this is an OPEN, Sovran, etc.
Not sure about yours, but mine are not hydraulic but are a screw type of lift. I have a 2000 3500 and there is a switch on the companion seat that must be open (or closed forget which) in order for the engine hatch to lift. Otherwise the seat would get crushed since it is right next to the front section of the boat. Not sure if you have a seat that needs to be moved before lifting the hatch but if so, there is a switch associated with it that may be bad.
