While my jet boat is on the trailer for recent repairs I decided to replace the gas struts 5200-30A. I obtained a new set and installed them. They work fine but the hatch does not open as wide as I would like. I am still investigating other options.
In the meantime when I obtained the boat it did not have a complete hatch latch. It seems the locking mechanism was removed and never replaced. I have yet to find an exact replacement on line. I will be posting some photos of what I have as soon as I get on my laptop.
The new struts I installed are very strong and will tend to open the hatch on its own. It is therefore very important that I either purchase the correct hatch latch or try to devise another way to keep the hatch from opening
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated Thanks so much,
