How do you measure gas struts on a boat hatch?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\r\n
\r\n
To measure gas struts<\/a><\/strong> on a boat hatch, fully open the hatch and measure the distance between the center of the mounting points (from hinge to latch). Then, close the hatch and measure the compressed length from the same points. Note the rod diameter and tube size, which affect strength. Record both measurements to find the correct replacement strut length and force to ensure smooth, balanced operation of the hatch.<\/div>\r\n
