Bavaria 34 2001 gas strut spec

[smeaks]

As per the title, my kicker rod has failed and I want to change the gas strut as this one I beleive is 20+ years old and fails to tension the rod.

Thanks for any advice or data

The poundage of the strut is usually printed on its body, the length needs to be measured.

As said above take the gas strut apart ( relatively simple) & you’ll find all the info you need printed on the old gas strut.
Don’t use Selden to source the spare. Lots of suppliers at gas struts online.

If you cannot find the spec, I had the same issue when replacing my original spring with a gas strut, got a fully stainless strut with adjustable gas valve, fitted it and tried it and let some gas out until it was correct, was not difficult to do. The manufactures name I cannot remember but recall that they were in Derby ? They supply the seldon struts from what I was told but direct from them were fraction of the price, I had to make end plates but you should have them from the old

I used them for replacement bathing platform struts. Very good service at half the price of Beneteau (Ressorts Spec).
