Video Transcript for Feature Review Taylor Made Marine Gas Strut for Boat Hatches

Today we're going to take a look at the Taylor Made 20-inch long steel gas shock. Now this gas shock is designed to replace a worn out or damaged shock on your dock box or boat hatch. It's a coated inaudible 00:00:12 steel construction, provides corrosion resistance, so it is perfect for high saltwater areas. It does easily install in minutes. There's no special tools required and when you do install this, you do always want to make sure to install it with this rod portion facing down and it is recommended to replace these gas shocks in pairs. The connection type on this is for a removable 10 millimeter ball socket with the retaining clip.

And I want to zoom in just to show you how you connect it. It's pretty simple, but you'll see on each end they have the ball socket right here and then on top is the retaining clip.So you just take a flat tip screwdriver, insert it under that retaining clip, pry up on it to unlatch it, and then that'll push right onto your 10 millimeter ball. Once it's on the ball, just push that retaining clip down to hold it into place. Very simple installation. Total length on this shock, and the length is always measured from the center of this ball socket to the center of this one.

So if we put the tape measure on it, there's your 20 inch length, and the output force on the shock is 20 pounds, but that should do it for the review on the Taylor Made 20-inch long steel gas shock.
