Default stuck engine hatch on 32 fountain fever

my engine hatch is stuck shut. motor makes a ratching sound when you try to open it similar to what it made when it was fully closed. i took the hinge pins out and can't access it from that side either. any ideas?

Have you tried pulling the hatch up / open while somebody else holds the switch? That will generally get a power hatch open enough to pull the pin.
