Adding Gas Spring to Rodkicker

I have a 2007 Hunter 33. Has anyone added the optional gas spring to Rodkicker?
If so can you provide information/specs and where to purchase?
Thanks,

 

[Hello Below]

I have a 2007 Hunter 33. Has anyone added the optional gas spring to Rodkicker?
If so can you provide information/specs and where to purchase?
Thanks,

Make and model of your particular Rodkicker would help us help you.
I purchased a gas spring kit for my 2012 Hunter e33 from Vela Sailing Supply. It is a Selden Type 10 Normal p/n SEL308-070-03. I believe that all the Types come in 3 different pressures.

Perfect...thanks .

FYI, I found that the standard spring was not stiff enough to hold up my First 310 boom with the main on it. So, I went with the next level stiffer.

I bought this gas spring from Selden for my RodKicker, "Replacement Hard Gas Spring P/N: 308-071-04 (1.2kN)".
When it fails after some years, I go with 3rd party gas spring:
