Not happy with the piece of string "securing" the hatches of my lazarettes . I want to to make an upgrade using a gas strut which will hold the hatch open even in a sloppy sea. The length looks to be 70 cm but what about the rating Thinking that 300 N should be ok Anyone done this or knows the answer? Would have been nice if the hatches opened outwards rather than inwards - doubt if its possible to change that. A design flaw or am I missing something?
On my Cruiser 37, there's one 150N strut on each locker lid.
