Bonnie's AWOL

I bought a 2011 Sundancer 260 DA, first year I owned it, I could lift the hatch and it would stay open. Also - I realized while driving it, the hatch lock was broken and the hatch was bouncing open. I replaced the hatch lock so it wasn't bouncing around anymore however, later that season I tried to open the hatch and I couldn't. I finally got it open using about all the strength I have, and it will no longer stay open. I bought the exact same shocks (80lb), replaced them, not helping at all. I returned them, purchased 100lb shocks, still no go. Now up to 120lb.. not holding. I looked online and see that many hatches for this model have an actuator (some type of switch) There isn't one on this boat that I can locate and I spoke with the previous owner he swears there isn't one. There's nothing under the seat or anything I can figure out.. what am I missing?? Thanks in advance for anyone that can solve this riddle... my mechanic couldn't and it's driving me crazy lol
