Engine hatch lift

One of my bug bears with my Fiesta Vee 250 is that due to the short engine hatch lift arm, the hatch only opens about 2ft.
In order to actually work on the engine, I have to disconnect the arm, manually pull the seat/hatch back and rest it on something on the swim platform.
Have any of you replaced the arm with a longer one? Recommendations would be useful please.
Thanks very much.

    The key thing is the main body plus the retracted ram and coupling has to be of a length to be able to fit under the hatch when closed.
