Video Transcript for The Low-Down on the Taylor Made Marine Gas Strut for Boat Hatches-3691855

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the Taylor Made 20 inch long steel gas strut for boat hatches. Now, this gas strut's designed to replace a worn out or damaged strut on your boat's hatch lid or compartment door. It is designed to extend to ease lifting your hatch lid. And it compresses to gently close your hatch without slamming.

Now, this one here is made of a rustproof 316 stainless steel which is ideal for freshwater and saltwater applications. It is highly resistant to rust and corrosion. It is a ball and socket installation on each end. It attaches to the ball studs on the inside of your boat's hatch. I just want to zoom in and show you.

There's your socket that connects to the 10 millimeter ball socket. And then you can see the stainless steel construction. And this other end is the same ball socket. It does easily install in minutes. There's no special tools required.

Now, when installing this, you do want the inner rod facing down. And it is recommended to replace these gas shocks in pairs. The length on this is 20 inches and that's always measured from the center of this ball socket to the center of this ball socket. So, if we go center to center, there's your 20 inch measurement. Compression force on this strut is 90 pounds.

And it is for a quantity of one strut. But that should do it for the review on the Taylor Made 20 inch long steel gas strut for boat patches..
