elopomorph Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Has anyone replaced the stay spring hinge that keeps the lid open for the anchor locker on a 22 pathfinder? My spring is old and shot. I would love to hear some information on where to purchase a replacement. Do I just need to get a stainless steel spring of the same size and replace the spring, or is there more to it? Any information would be greatly appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFD rtrd. Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 It's doubtful that you could find the same size S/S spring with the same configuration on the ends. Google spring assist for boat hatches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elopomorph Posted February 5 Author Report Share Posted February 5 I found a spring that fits my boat. I had someone tell me to spin the spring a 0.5 or full revolution before you install it. I was told this will help it be stiffer when you have the latch open. Is there any truth to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Seither Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 Yes, it will increase the tension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
