2012 Bavaria 40 Cruiser Bathing Platform(Manual) Problem

[burakkilic]

Hi,

We own a Bavaria 40 Cruiser (2012). When we bought her, we could close the bathing platform easier. This week we need more power to close the platform. It's like the platform became 2x of its weight.

Do you think there is a problem with the hinges?

Hi. What powers the ramp. Is it motors or is it done by piston rams like a car boot/tailgate. If its the piston type then one or both could hsve lost a bit of pressure.
