Video Transcript for Taylor Made Boat Hatch Marine Gas Struts Review
Shane: Hey guys, Shane here with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Taylor Made replacement shocks. These shocks are going to be great for replacing the old worn outs gas shocks on your basement door or your luggage door on your campers. But not only that, they're also going to work on. Maybe you have an inboard or outboard boat that the deck has to be lifted up so you can air out the fumes, the gas fumes, before you start your engine. They're going to work great for those.
Maybe you have a car that has a hatch on it. These are also going to work great to replace those old worn out shocks on your cars, as well as your boats and your campers. Normally, our shock is supposed to hold our door open. Not doing it anymore. That means our shocks are wearing out.It becomes a pain in the butt when you're trying to get in there and get something and you got to hold this up to get that out with one hand, or you think your shock's working and you reach in with both hands and this thing comes down and hits you back of the head, on your back.
It becomes a pain. These are going to mount directly in place of your factory shocks. These trickier ones are going to be 20" long with a 30 pound compression. You can find different lengths here at etrailer. Adding new shacks are going to make it much easier when opening your door to be able to hold it open.
It's going to provide enough pressure to keep that door up. You really don't have to lift it much, really with your finger, push it up and it'll stay up by itself. As you can see here, new shocks are able to hold up for a door. It's going to make it much easier for us to use both hands to get any luggage in and out of this lower compartment, not have to worry about our door falling on us. That's going to do it for a look at Taylor Made Gas Shocks..

Review from a similar TM Gas Shocks in Gas Struts
Service was good and the order was received in a timely manner. The only complaint has to do with the product description. There were two different struts with exactly the same description but different prices. The difference between the two could not be determined by the customer service representative. Not sure what we missed, but there must have been something different

Review from a similar TM Gas Shocks in Gas Struts
Bought these to replace 20" struts to gain height on lifting outside kitchen door of RV. However, the closing length was not enough and ended up having to move brackets, losing about 1 inch of distance. Otherwise, they have worked out and are holding up so far over about a week of use.

Review from a similar TM Gas Shocks in Gas Struts
Ordering and receiving product just fine. The strut will some time hold up the door and some times. A little on short on force.
Comments
Oh no, that does not sound good! Would you happen to know how heavy the door is thats being held up?
-- 
Katrina B - 06/21/2022It is my aluminum door on my tool box. I dont know the weight but it is not heavy at all.
-- comment by: Rick C - 06/21/2022I have gotten in touch with the manufacturer and they suggest that you would need to increase the lbs to maybe twenty lbs. You would want to use part number 3691824 which is 12inch x 20lbs.

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.
