gas struts for pop top

[Submarine]

anybody installed gas struts to raise their pop top? Seems like there would be plenty of room on my 25.5 and it would make raising it & keeping it up so much easier.

No idea how your pop top compares with my Mac as far as weight etc, but I used these struts to set up my pop top, and it's one of the best modifications I've made to it to date.

That's what I'm talking about! It's definitely in the same ballpark weightwise and the overhead lift is horrible on the back. Looks like the knob to set the hook to hold it up on the mast is broken too. I'll be doing this pronto, thanks!
