Cafe cabin hatch rams/pistons
 

Where cani get replacements. The ones on my cafe rotted out and now stuck. I would have though they would use stainless or aluminum so this didnt happen but anyway how can i get another set.

Good question. Mine are bad and will be replaced this winter

i bought mine from dollar, they were about $20 or $25 each. LipShip has em to for same price. After one year, they are bad again. :hitfan: one side does not have enough pressure to hold hatch up. thinking bout coming up w/ disconnect method to let the ram out while hatch shut. i was told by keeping the ram compressed for long periods of time (basically as designed) causes them to fail prematurely.

Can some one send me the link. Thanks guys

I found a couple interesting links last night after looking;

here were the originals:
Spring Lift SL-4-30's

doller or lipship will know exactly what you want. i would go w/ 40's instead of 30's tho.

thanks, i'll give them a call in the morning

Let me know how you make out. Thanks B for the info

Bdiggity, Thanks for the info.


My biggest concern is finding blade brackets that mount in the hatch channel. (The deck-side brackets were missing when I bought the boat)

I called Attwood Marine Products, they couldn't have been more helpful, have everything I need and referred me to the site below to place my order;
