Greetings from the UK, there doesn't seem to be many brits on this forum ! The Gas strut in the companionway on my '98 258 Vista is shot, and I'm struggling to source a replacement. The number on it is SL 16 10, I believe the 10 is the strength. I've looked on the official Four Winns site, and it suggests this part is SL 16 20. I've queried this but not had a response. Any advice/comments anyone ? Thanks in advance Chris |

Chris Welcome to the forum. If all else fails try http://www.albert-jagger.co.uk they come in all different sizes and strengths some are are adjustable by releasing the gas through a valve. NOTE if you do get an adjustable one take it very easy letting the gas out!! They are amazingly cheap compared to what a boat dealer will want. Where abouts in the UK are you? |

You have to buy FW parts through FW dealers, I have tried to buy some small items from them but all they will do is give me the name of my closest dealer. This is where I always buy gas struts when I cant buy from the original manufacture: http://www.spdhardware.com/catalog/list.asp?id={A818FF64-E51A-422F-A59A-4E2E52A3BDA2} Easiest to find a FW dealer in the UK that would order one for you. |

Many thanks for the info guys, will follow up. I'm only 40 miles from you Beyond the Blue, but it's White Rose Country, Sheffield ! Boat is moored inland on River Great Ouse in Cambridgeshire, not tidal at that point. Max speed limit 7 mph, need to study for my Navigation Certificate so I can head out to the Wash. Thanks again. |
