Pneumatic Arm?

[rgranger]

Hello Hunter owners. For some mysterious reason, the pneumatic arm that holds up my front hatch (windshield) decided to die this weekend and now my hatch won't stay open. Anyone know the part number? I also have an email into the owners of this site to see if they have it.

Fair winds,

Rob;
Photo of that arm please and see if there are any identification and reference numbers of that center windshield please. Cannot find it in my resources.

Thanks Dave. I should have snapped a pic this past weekend. I spent two days out on the boat... it was great!!!! The water at Lake Martin is fairly clean and most of the shoreline is undeveloped. There are 700 miles of shoreline and dozens of uninhabited islands to explore. It will take me several years to see it all.

@rgranger I think there is a picture of the strut in your A/C thread- maybe you can zoom in on that?

Good catch... I zoomed it but it was blurry.

Looks like a friction arm similar to one on our 260. Central black barrel portion may rotate allowing friction to be increased (or decreased) on internal rod.

Different version from sites store:

Thanks @twalker H260
I'll check on the friction thing and I'll keep the one you found in my back pocket in case I can't find an exact match. I'd prefer to not have to drill new holes ...
