I had a 3300 Open for many years... unbolt the two seat modules, 4 bolts each and slide them off, then unbold the hinges at the front of the hatch and the lift cylinder and one person can pick the hatch up and slide it out of the way to work on the engines much more easily. Depending on what is in your seat modules you may have to disconnect a couple of plumbing lines and maybe an electrical connection. I could take it off or put it back on by myself in less than an hour once I knew what I was doing.
