I have a Sea Ray boat and the engine hatch cover original gas springs are made by Ameritool and are 120 Lb. rated. Would the 100 lb. work ? Do they make a 120 lb. model ? Thanks

Thank you for contacting us. If the originals are rated at 120lbs then these would not work. Do you have any markings off the originals that you can provide us with? - Lift Supports Depot

If you are using these in pairs, then its a loss of 40 lbs. of pressure. Most likely going down to 100 lbs. will not work. If you need the 20" extended length, then the correct props are the C16-08055 part number, which are 120 lbs.

I pull a boat with heavy tounge weight. I don't have them tightened up all the way cause I only want help when towing. It does. I would put more pressure on them from start for you.i like them they do work. They kind of rattle on bumps. If you don't mind that. I would get the more costly ones with rubber silencers. I wish I would have. Should help. You can adjust how much help by tightening nuts more. Thanks

I put mine on a tank from 1985 and it works. It is trial and error in the sense that I had to make adjustments. You can always call the company as I did a few times; I found them to be very helpful.

No not from Amazon or company that made this kit. This leaves you with two choices: send it back or order another one. I was told there is a company that makes these type of springs. Good luck. Sorry I could not be more help.

Because of the characteristics of the springs, diameter, k, length, I would be hesitant to use anything but OEM replacements to assure it continues to operate correctly. If you feel lucky you can grab all of the data, wire diameter, length at rest, stretched length and force required to stretch, hook end dimensions, etc. and go to an industrial supply store. You may find you will have to cut to length, apply heat to bend the ends and properly quench. I've made springs for other devices in this manner and would return to the OEM if possible just to save the PITA factor.

Sorry... don't know. I have a DS Elec. Club Car mfg. 1998. Best to call the mfg. If you plan on having a back seat you'll need these heavy duty springs (they're great).The installation was a challenge, but well worth the effort.

We installed it on our 26 ft Sea Ray no problem. It actually replaced an older toilet that needed replacing, and was a perfect fit. Measure your space accurately and look at where the hoses go relative to where your boat fittings are. We shopped around and the Amazon price was about as good as it gets.

Greetings: So here is the answer from what I can tell. You are looking for the supports for the Tonneau cover and not the liftgate. I guess what you would call your model the pick up hummer. As far as I know there are 2 different supports. Both the same length 11.57" but they have different pressures. From what I have been told the left side is 120lbs and the right side is 12lbs. Not sure why the difference, maybe someone who owns one has more information. There is no one in the aftermarket that we find that now produces these, possibly GM still has them. We are going to go into production of these in June. Hopefully this is helpful. Thank You, Lou Fishman Greetings: So here is the answer from what I can tell.

I have not even opened the box, however I got a cherry picker from harbor freight that only had a short arm where I needed a much longer arm, mine was a one ton model. so I took out the inside bar with the chain and went to the metal shop and got a much longer one had to do a little grinding to get it to fit inside to slide. I believe the one I replaced it with was 5 or 6 ft long drilled the holes and lifted 450 Lbs with no problems at all. what I planed on doing with the vistil is I bout a cheap hitch and I'm going to weld it to it stick it in my car hitch and I have bought a cheap champion electric winch with 12" leads to hook it to my car battery and just winch the blasted thing. I bought mine because I had a 900 Lb gun safe fall on me. So It should take care of your needs just fine. 200Lb is alot lighter than 450 and 900 lbs. remember those numbers are working load limits not breaking load limits. So you should be fine and you can remove it whenever you want do to the hitch. I would thing if you need 60 inches you could probably get away with 1/4 " thick steel inside bar and alot longer. hopes this helps remember the harber freight ones are even thinner. Just remember if you hook it to a dock use long lag bolts with big washers. I would have no hesitation on it. If I was computer savy I would send you a picture of mine. Never bent, swayed or buckled.

I've already installed the supports on my 2010 Toyota 4Runner, so I can't see the compressed length. I don't know the weight of my hatch, but it easily supports the weight of the hatch. The overall length is about 1/8 inch longer that the full open position of the hatch so you might need a flat metal screwdriver or blade to compress the support just a little to clip it in. You may also have to support the hatch in the open position with a pole or rope.

The kit contains an "L" iron that lag screws to the side of the hot tub. A channel then bolts to the top of the "L" iron where the lift bar and gas shocks attach. If the banister is beefie enough to take the weight, it would work.

Air gauge won't work on these due to the twist valve. I just go by feel . You'll need to adjust depending on water temp and heat of sun. Its no problem though. I love my boat.very stable...quick set to set up and break down.. its awesone for floating the river. Although its not recommended in the instruction manual. I only recommend securing the seat because if it slides back while on the water its almost impossible to fix. And a non level boat is difficult to row. I promise you won't be disappointed.

I have Rusty's steel fenders and i made it work but i only used the top mounting bolts. I was able to overlap the snorkel and use it but your flares bulge different. I would see if they wld send u a template for u to try before u made the investment.

Yes it fits in my tarpon 120. My tarpon is an older model with the rubber hatch cover, not the newer type with the lever latch and hinged cover. I was out paddling yesterday for 5 hours in Trinidad harbor. You must remove the wheels. That only takes a few seconds. If you have the newer hinged compartment you should contact someone with a newer boat. john

You may as well order an R-134 gauge set through Harbor Freight. Comes in a nice box and has the correct pressures on the gauge. 49 dollars and I've used my set a few times already with great results. My R-12 gauge set was almost 30 years old. Well made, but 20 more dollars gets you the real deal.

Susan, I agree with Tomas. I've repeatedly replaced mine. Most gas shocks will come with technical information as to what kind of load they can support. So your door should weigh about 6.875 pounds, not a lot. I recommend looking at the products sold by auto parts stores. The shocks there are designed to support car hoods or rear doors. Places like Lowes or Home Depot may carry them too. You could also go with something that is not pneumatic, like a locking hinge. Cheap and easy. Hope that helps.

I don't really understand the question, however, I bought this item for a 92 Oldsmobile cutlass and my mechanic installed it. The original one in the auto had corroded so this one was ideal in that regard. It is strong and steady. I am pleased with the purchase.
