So, I can't be the only 4207 owner out there that has wanted to install dual gas shocks on my engine room access/stairs.
I thought this might be a great winter project but I started to research " The extended length is the distance between point R and K (closed) in your calculation on the previous page in which this length must be long enough to include two stroke...." ......but wait maybe someone has already done the brain work.
So who out there has already installed them?

Re: 4207 engine room access hatch gas shocks
Welcome aboard!
When we had our 4207, I just had the wife do it.
And if you believe that..................
Nice idea. Too bad I didn't think of it.

Chris, I never did put them since I never had the idea while I had the boat.
Thanks

Chris86, No still waiting for a fellow Carver owner to get me info off of his already installed shock.
