Sundancer 350 Coupe Generator Hatch

[UNDADC]

Does anyone have a late model Sundancer 350 Coupe that the would be kind enough to take some photos of the open generator hatch. Specifically the spring or device that holds the hatch open.

The previous owner of my 2019 decided it was not necessary and removed it and I would like to replace since it is a serious hazard.

To me a gas spring would not fit due to where I see the original holes are on the hatch but I might just not be creative enough to figure it out. Pictures are priceless on this one.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

I can't get a picture of it right now, but you're right that it's not a gas spring. It's two pieces of flat stock (appears to be polished SS), joined together to pivot/fold there in the middle. I would check around the boat - he might have left it inside somewhere - or give him a call and see if he has it. Otherwise, it looks like there are still some stock at Sea Ray that your dealer can get for you.

Do you have the original parts manual? You might find it in there.

Whoa. Slow down there. Lots of good stuff in that post.

For starters, there's a parts manual?!? Is there possibly an online parts manual with exploded diagrams (wishing).

How did you figure there are some in stock with Sea Ray? Is there a resource where that can be checked?

Definitely not on the boat. I have even removed every access panel and scoured the boat to better understand the mechanicals and maintenance that is required. If you do get a chance, please do share a pic. I also will try a dealer.

Many thanks!
