To use the tool, you simply fill in the item number (section) on the pillar, and a product page of the same specification will appear. Click here to try to find boat hatch gas struts.<br \/>\nIf no results are displayed, you can configure the replacement gas strut yourself, but this is only recommended if you know all the important indicators (e.g. required force in Newtons).<br \/>\nAnother approach is to completely recalculate the marine gas springs application for the cabin door. In this case, you will need to provide all the necessary information about the cabin door, such as weight, dimensions, opening\/closing angles, etc. Our professionals will calculate and give you the most suitable advice.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-91502 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/manufacturer.gastac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/How-to-measure-a-gas-strut-800x240-1.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"204\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manufacturer.gastac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/How-to-measure-a-gas-strut-800x240-1.webp 800w, https:\/\/manufacturer.gastac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/How-to-measure-a-gas-strut-800x240-1-768x230.webp 768w, https:\/\/manufacturer.gastac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/How-to-measure-a-gas-strut-800x240-1-600x180.webp 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"JlqpRe\"><span class=\"JCzEY tNxQIb\"><span class=\"CSkcDe\">How to Install Gas Struts on A Boat?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Attach brackets to boat and mounting points on the strut.
