Our 280 has a manual engine compartment hatch. It is clearly a chore to lift. Since this is the only 280 we have ever known, I don't know if it is that the gas struts have pooped out, or if a power hatch was one of the options the first buyer should have bought.
To put it in perspective, pulling our 65 lb zodiac out of the water and up onto the the bow is noticably easier than yanking the engine hatch open.
