After I bought my latest boat, I quickly realized I could not lift the engine boxes by myself if I needed access to the outboard sides of my engines. There is pretty good access between them via two smaller lift out hatches for checking oil, coolant, fuel and belts. But, being a small express-style boat, the boxes are actually seating units, storage, cleaning station, live well etc. and weigh around 200 lb. A two-man job at best.
My solution was to install lifting rings at the lower edge of the boxes, both forward and aft. I then installed corresponding rings/padeyes in the hardtop and frame above them and now use a Warn PullzAll hand-held electric winch that lifts either end of a box to about a 45° angle for better access. Easey peasey. I do use a safety strut just in case.
The winch is 120VAC so plan A is to use the generator if away from the dock, or plan B is to use an old boom vang if I completely lose power. I converted it to Dyneema and soft shackles instead of wire to avoid scratching anything. It can obviously be used for other lifting chores as well.
Not as elegant as a single pushbutton, but it is easy to handle and works well.
Maybe something like this could be a solution for heavier hatches on larger boats.
