Cruiser 32/37 Swim Platform Gas Spring Replacement

<< < (2/2)

David Light:
I'm sorry I can't help with details of the struts for the other models. If the 41 platform is a similar size and weight as the 37, wouldn't the 37 strut work all the same?

As I see it the 'locking pins' (I'm not sure this is the right name, but went with this for the purpose of the explanation) are there to prevent the hinge from snapping shut when removing or reinstalling the bathing platform onto the stern. And yes, as you correctly put it, to be able to insert the screws through the hinge bracket into the stern.

Franck Bavaria:
Thank You. I suppose the 40/41 platform is larger than the 37, since the 40/41 is almost 4m wide and the platform extends through most of transom. I´ll post when I know more. The Bavaria P/N for the 40/41 cruiser gas springs is 344513 ... 5 weeks delivery time... looking for alternatives.

Impavidus:
Hi David. A great article. Did you by any chance take the dimensions of the struts? I have a UK supplier that is 1/5th of the price but the need to know the dims.
Thanks Ant. PS here is the PDF for the OEM in Germany   

David Light:
No, sadly I don't! And I had the platform and hinges out in January while the boat was on the hardstand to do some gelcoat repairs, so could have measured them then. Sorry!

Hello,
Thank you for the perfect instructions to do this job.
I'm wondering how much could be the weight of the swimming platform of the cruiser 32?
Regards,
Attila
