Gas strut orientation

[Capt Paul]

I intend to add a gas strut to hold open the hatch on the back deck of my LRC. I’m trying to decide whether to mount the base near the hinge end on the coaming with the strut attaching to the hatch near the midline or to mount the base to the coaming near the opening and the end of the strut facing the hinge end of the hatch. So, when open, the strut will either kind of parallel the hatch or be perpendicular. Looking at a 12”x20” strut. 20#?

Here is a picture of the hatch.

Well that didn’t work. Ok I’ve added pictures before but can’t anymore. It says to drag it but it won’t drag. It’s the hatch that opens onto the boat deck.

You don’t drag it. Click add

Yeah that didn’t work either. Maybe because I’m using an iPhone.

You have to pay apple for it to work.
