Our 2001 420 Passage has Seldon Inmast Furling.
The Rodkicker do not seem to have a gas shock, as it drops down on the top when the topping lift is released.
How do you tell what model Rodkicker you have, is there a S/N on it somewhere?
LOL Call Selden with the serial number and they will send one out. Hunter went on the cheap and used them as a stop so the boom couldn't hit the traveler on anything with an arch. I don't know how much they saved per boat but it was a tacky move in my opinion. It was one of the first things I added to the boat, even have a spare.
The rod kicker with the spring/shock in it will help open up the leech of the sail. Light air vang off boom rises up, wind pipes up vang on to close the leech. The booms are pretty heavy so they effect roach shave all by themselves
