1994 Protour 190 Restoration

[ShuManChu]

Decided to remove the the gas lift shocks and brackets off my engine cover. The problem with them with them is they do not hold the cover up high enough to service the transmission and they are in the way when you try and remove the oil filter. I came up with a simple way to secure the cover in the full up position.

Are you going to leave the gas lift shocks off permanently? Or is this just for use when you are servicing the engine/trans?

i going to put them in a box and store them in my attic so my OCD is kept in check. The strap is stored in the glove box on the boat and can be quickly attached to support the engine cover try not to over think this the gas struts created a lot of problems.
