Got the boat with one 40lbs gas spring on each hatch. The hatch would not stay open. Replaced with new 40lbs gas spring. The hatch would not stay open. Each hatch with the one spring did not close squarely but did latch closed. Removed the springs and the hatches close perfectly. Saw that there were holes for a second spring on both hatches. Installed two springs on the port side hatch. Held the hatch open firmly and the correct amount of pressure to close. Appeared that two gas spring was the answer. However with two spring the hatch does not close and latch correctly. The hatch appears to be pushed down by the springs in the closed position and as a result hits the bottom of the opening and does not close.
Anyone else seen this issue and if so how has it been addressed?
Thanks in advance,
Rob
