Where to look for replacement engine hatch lifts?
 
Looking to replace the single ram in my Donzi 33ZX with a pair of them and move them to the outsides of the engine compartment. That heavy hatch has gotten beat up from rocking back and forth it seeems, kind of surprised they only put one ram in the center in the first place. Pulling it off fixing the fiberglass cracks and id like to redo it in a more stable manner. It rocks sitting on the trailer, in the water no wonder it got beat up if the hatch was ever opened

open the ram currently is 56.25 from floor to the hinge bolt center, and it has around 23.5" of stroke. Anyone have lists or places to start looking for reasonably priced rams?

Search for linear actuators. What brand is the current one?

My brother got one last year for his 33zx. I will have him chime in

I wouldn't advise installing two on a single hatch. That could turn into a nightmare.

I had to move my hatch ram further to one side to clear my new engine so I put a gas strut on the opposite side to help out a bit.. Works pretty good..

Acculift is where my brother got his.

He has an 01 33zx worked perfectly

I looked all over when I replaced mine a few years ago.
Prices were all pretty similar. I got mine from CPPerformance. Had a lifting capacity of 500#
