Welcome to our forum.
Well when I was at the Bullfrog dealer I pulled up on the lifter side of the cover and it seemed to open right up. I think the lifter bar rests in the middle of the cover so there is nothing to hold it down.
You say that there is retaining wall on one side and the back. If that means the opposite side and front are open you should be able walk to the back side with its 2 feet of clearance, undo the backside locks and open the cover. Let me know if I'm missing something.
CM1 and CM3 are covermate 1 and 3? https://www.amazon.com/Leisure-Concepts-CoverMate-Hydraulic-Cover/dp/B002WKM6WQCovermate III looks like it has pretty horrible reviews on amazon

I don't think i will be able to get behind the tub.
