Hello, everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're taking a look at this Taylor Made 15 inch long steel gas strut for boat hatches. Now this gas strut is designed to replace a worn out or damaged strut on your boat hatch lid or compartment door. It's designed to extend to ease lifting your hatch lid, and it'll compress to gently close your hatch without slamming. It is a nice heat treated steel construction which is very durable, it has a corrosion resistant coating so it won't rust, even in saltwater areas, and it is a ball-and-socket installation. Basically, each end here will attach to the ball studs on the inside of your boat's hatch and it is designed to connect to a 10 millimeter ball socket.
Wanna zoom in here and just show you Chen, you can see there's, where it'll connect to the ball socket and same way on this end. It does easily install in minutes, there's no special tools required. All you have to do is remove your old strut. And then when you go to put this one on, what you'll do is get a small flat tip screwdriver, and there's a clip on each end. You can see this clip that sort of goes around there, and there's an opening there, you slide that screwdriver up under there and lift up on that clip.
You don't have to pull the clip off of it, you just lift it up enough to release the pressure and you'll do the same on the other end. Once you get that clip up, then you just put this over the ball, a 10 millimeter ball, push it down on there, and then push that clip down and it'll lock it to the ball sock, or the ball there. So while installing this you do want this inner rod portion facing down, and it is always recommended to replace these gas shocks in pairs. The length on this, which would be measured from the center of this ball socket to the center of this one. Take a tape measure, be 15 inches.
Compression force on this shock is 40 pounds, and it is for a quantity of one strut. But that should do it for the review on the Taylor Made 15 inch long steel gas strut for boat hatches..
