Gas strut for boat hatch in different shapes and sizes
Thanks to our wide range of gas springs, there is a suitable gas spring for every boat and for every hatch. The type of gas spring you need often depends on which hatch or box you want to use on the boat. The gas springs, also called extenders, can be placed on a deck hatch as well as on a cabin flap for easy opening and closing. The gas springs have a damping effect so that the hatches do not close in one fell swoop. This will minimize damages to your boat. Also, your fingers cannot get in between them and won’t be injured.
Replacing or installing the gas springs of your boat
When replacing gas springs, it is important that you pay close attention to the length and weight of the old gas springs. You can use the gas spring size chart to determine the right size gas spring. The length as shown on our products in our shop is measured between the center of both end fittings in the fully open position.
Our products also indicate how many kilos the gas springs can hold. Therefore, before you order the gas springs, pay attention to which sizes and for what weight you need the gas springs. If you want to order two gas springs, you can divide the weight of the hatch by two. In most cases, our specialists recommend that you install 2 gas springs with a hatch or box. We also sell gas struts which are specially designed for us on heavy lids. Gas springs can easily be replaced, but it’s important you’re very careful. We recommend you to read this instruction on how to install gas shocks on a boat hatch before you begin.
