Engine Hatch

Anyone ever have their engine hatch open up on its own??!! I checked my camera this morning and noticed it was open. We did have a thunderstorm last night so I’m thinking somehow the lightning caused it. It wasn’t opened by a person because all of the zippers were still closed the bungees at the back on the canvas broke and of course the transom door latch broke. The camera didn’t pick up any motion, I guess because the hatch moves slowly? I have some nice tears on the canvas that need to be repaired now also! When I got down to the boat the hatch worked as normal with the switch. I ran the engines and checked all systems, everything is normal. The pics of the canvas were after I replaced the bungees.

This is very odd that the engine opened, maybe water in the switch or relay?

That's strange. Mine has it.
I think your boat and @Spyderweb's boats are newer than mine; perhaps a running change.
