Forward folding wake board tower gas shocks

Post by tarachanowicz »

Anyone able to find the gas charged shocks for the factory optional forward folding wakeboard towers? My shocks lost their gas charge. I tried with Sampson, my local cobalt dealer both seem to be no help. Sampson will not sell to public. My dealer said take 1 off and bring to us we might be able to find them. The shocks have a sticker on them with spdhardware.com. I go to their web site and none of the numbers on the shock match up with what they list. Any help would be appreciated. I think I may have to remove 1 and match it up. Although their are no markings on what the assist rate they are. The boat is a 2014 220.

I wonder if they're are numbers under that sticker. I Didn't have any luck either. You called Samson and they wouldn't help you? Maybe they can get you the specs at least?

Probably on the advice of their lawyers.

If all wise fails you can order them by the measurements of the R8S lengths. The hard part will be the pressure. Which of you buy off Amazon they are easy to return to you get the correct one.?
Keep on Cobalt customer service and your dealer first.

I would bet the numbers you need are under the sticker. Any time I have had to get replacement gas struts they numbers are painted/stamped on just like the ones that are below the sticker. Try to carefully remove the sticker and see what is underneath.
