On this page, we from <\/b>Gasspring.asia<\/b><\/a> will explain to you clearly why a gas shock is the ideal object for this matter. Besides that we will also explain how to install gas shocks on a boat hatch. Do you want to know more? Then read on, we can not wait to tell you more!<\/b><\/p>\n

Why install gas shocks on a boat hatch?<\/span><\/h2>\n

We have already given away the biggest advantage of a gas shock, namely the convenience that comes with it. You no longer have to bend down to manually keep the <\/span>heavy boat hatch<\/span><\/a> open. The gas shock is able to keep the boat hatch open without any effort. A gas shock also prevents accidents and thus injuries. How? We will explain to you! Because the gas shock has a cylinder with compressed nitrogen, the application is able to stay open \u2018by itself\u2019 because of the resilient operation. A gas shock also has a valve, which ensures that the movement stays damped. Thanks to these both components, it is a guarantee that the application, such as a boat hatch, cannot suddenly fall down on a person.<\/span><\/p>\n

With regard to the above argument it is important to know that not every gas shock can be installed just like that on every application and thus boat hatch. The correct gas shock depends on the dimensions and weight of the boat hatch. Now you may be thinking, how can I determine which gas shock is suitable for my boat hatch? Below we will give you a golden tip regarding determining the right gas shock. Useful!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"gas<\/p>\n

Here’s a<\/span> pro tip<\/b> for now: don’t forget to also calculate and order the correct <\/span>mounting parts<\/span><\/a>! You will need these later on when installing the gas shocks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s make sure the measurements are right!<\/span><\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s get right into the matter of how to install gas shocks on a boat hatch! The golden tip that we can offer you is the possibility of using our <\/span>calculator tool<\/span><\/a>. It’s super easy to use! All you need to know are the dimensions of your boat hatch and some other details such as weight, degrees of open angle and the number of gas shocks you want to install. After collecting all the data, fill in all fields in our calculator tool, accept the terms of use and click on <\/span>‘Calculate’<\/span><\/i>, the complicated calculations will then all happen automatically.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to install gas shocks on a boat hatch<\/span><\/h2>\n

Have you ordered the right gas shocks? Time to start installing! Take the inch points that you noted earlier while calculating the dimensions of your gas shocks. Now mark these inch points on your boat hatch. It is extremely important that the dimensions of the inch points are identical to the calculation, otherwise the gas shock(s) may eventually not fit in the end \/ not work properly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now you can screw the mounting parts onto the applied markings. <\/span>Gasspring.asia<\/span><\/a> recommends using stainless-steel self-tapping screws. Then make sure that you snap the gas shock(s) in an extended state onto the mounting parts. <\/span>It\u2019s extremely important that you mount the gas strut with the narrow rod end lower than the gas-filled piston. The last tip we give is having a partner to help you with the <\/span>installation<\/span><\/a>. Have the other person hold the boat hatch open while you install the gas shock(s). This really makes installation a lot easier!<\/span><\/p>\n
