Cockpit locker gas strut

[ianpowolny]

Bora,

I can’t answer your question about the addition, GRP your locker but here’s another.

I see you have a gas strut on your locker lid. It’s not something we have on Affinity. Can you tell me what’s the size of the locker lid and the size of the gas strut? I’m thinking of adding a gas strut and saving my head. More detailed photos would be good.

Anybody else got some input to this question.

Thanks Ian

I’ll be back on the boat tomorrow so I’ll have a look.

The hatch is about 67x70 and is pretty heavy, had it off for teak work, maybe around 4kg.

There was a thread about this last year as well, has a possible link but no update, maybe 

pagoda54 can let us know if that project progressed?
