Our 3200 open is fairly accessible by pushing the button that lifts the hatch. Not sure what maintenance would require removing the hatch. Ours was off for the removal and replacement of an engine with 18 hours on it in 2004. We maintain the boat by the book and have never had an issue doing all required work since then with the hatch lifted. The tech who does our work is 6'3" or more and is not a little guy. He likes the access of including the work space for the genny. He has lots of experience with Tiaras and knows the tricks. That is important knowledge to have. Our hatch is heavy and needed the fork lift for removal the one time it was removed.
