Video Transcript for Feature Breakdown: Taylor Made Marine Gas Strut for Boat Hatches-3691823

Today, we're going to take a look at the Taylor Made 10-inch Long Steel Gas Shock. Now this gas shock will replace a worn out or damaged shock on your dock box or boat hatch. This one is a coated annealed steel rod, which will provide corrosion resistance. It's perfect for high salt water areas. And this does easily install in minutes, there's no special tools required. But when you do install this, you do want to make sure that this inner rod will always face down, and it's recommended to replace these gas shocks in pairs.

The connections type on this shock is a 10-millimeter ball socket on each end. Total length, and the length is measured from the center of the ball socket to the center of this one, so the length on this is 10 inches. Output force on this shock is 40 pounds.And when you go to install this, let me show you first, we're going to zoom in a little bit here and I'll show you the connector. It's a retaining clip right here. So when you go to remove your old shock, take a small screwdriver, put it on the retaining clip of the old shock.

Pop that clip up, and then you will remove the old shock. And then when you go to put this new one on, same way just put your screwdriver on here, raise that clip. You don't want to remove the clip, just raise it up. So it unlocks and then push this down on the ball, and then just push the clip back down and it'll lock it into place. So it's very simple installation.

But that should do it for the review on the Taylor Made 10-inch Long Steel Gas Shock..
