Needed to replace several boat hatch struts on a 2008 cruiser. etrailer had the right parts and the phone support to help me sort my older boat. Well done.
Great fit. Perfect replacement strut for a Chaparral SS rear bench seat engine cover/sunpad.
I used them to make a lift system for a pontoon rear lid. I rebuiilt a 1988 pontoon. The Gas Struts make it much eaiser!!!
Did a bit of research on how to install these shocks via [online video] and ordered this product and installed in my rod lockers. Great products all around, was offered support but did not need it (got lucky). I need to fish more but so far so awesome.
Worked well to replace cabin door hatch lid strut on a 2005 Hydra Sports 212 WA. Had to move the top mount back about 3/4" to allow the lid to close completely, but when the original part is no longer available, this is the way to go.
Fits perfect. Works well.
Perfect replacement
2008 Grady White boat needed a new hatch lift. Boat manufacturers are not like automobile manufacturers, and many times the customer is on his own to find older parts. This was a perfect fit for the worn out gas strut. Even thought the force was 10 pounds lighter than the original part, it works fine. I was most pleased as the size and connectors fitted perfectly to effect a quick sure fix.
These struts worked phenomenal. I should have added them to our food trailer years ago. We retrofitted a 1972 Shasta Go Tag Along trailer and used real pine wood for a nice warm look. The side windows we cut into her were made of 2x4, plywood and pine wood. They were extremely heave and difficult to open. The struts were added and now they slowly open with by themselves. They are easy to close and only take one hand. Should have added them years ago!!
Replaced a hatch strut on a 2015 Stingray. Exact match and perfect fit.
Exact match for a compartment door on a 2016 Unity Leisure Travel van. Speedy shipping as well.
This gas strut for our boat hatch works perfectly. I received this faster than I thought I would and it was very well packaged. I have ordered things before from etrailer and have always had great results and service! I'm sure there will be other things I will need down the road for our boat...after all...you know what BOAT stands for don't you? It stands for "Bring Out Another Thousand"! :) When it comes to anything else I need....this IS the company I will order from.
Thank you etrailer for your service.
Comparing this to the usual steel gas strut is like day and night. Seems well made, and looks great. More important is my review if etrailer. When my order did not arrive, I sent them email. Shortly, I was notified that it was being tracked. When tracking did not find it, I emailed etrailer again. They expedited delivery of a replacement.
perfect for my toolbox lid.
The struts work great on my motorhome. Customer service was very good when I bought the wrong ones the first time! Thanks etrailer
They were returned due to the wrong size ball mounts. Customer service was nothing short of excellent.
Just what I needed
Worked great on our boat hatch. Always a great experience using etrailer.com when purchasing items for our truck and boat.
I'm hoping this does the trick.Had 30 lb on before went to 40 lb on boat hatch.Installed perfect and seems to work better .Different brand but seems exactly the same install.So will see how it works out if it does I will be ordering another.Came fast and in perfect shape.Thank you!
Shock worked great on my Ranger bass boat.
I would like to thank Abigail J. for her excellent and timely customer service.
Well made and can withstand wind gust that are not real strong
This is how the strut was delivered?????
Well will see how it works.
As always, etrailer delivers a great customer experience. In this case, not only worth a fastest, but in this case they were the only supplier I could find for this particular product, which is usually European.
They always get me my stuff quickly, and I use their website websites videos constantly to purchase and install travel related items. They are welcome discovery in my life.
These worked well for my project. I was putting a concession stand style hatch in the basement wall that separates our play area from the living area. It took some research and a few tries to get them installed at the correct angle. I wanted the hatch to almost, but not quite touch the ceiling.
