Late 90's Cabrio 310

[rpdwyer]

Hello all.

My 1997 Larson Cabrio 310 has a wet bar with a hatch lid. There is a small piston that is used to keep the lid open. The piston on mine went bad and I end up losing it about a year ago. To others that one a 300 or a 310, can you tell me the length of this piston when extended and the number of pounds it should support (I know a 10lb piston is not strong enough).

Oh... and for those with the same model... do you actually use the "wet bar" at all? It's basically a sink with a cold water faucet. I'm thinking of hooking up this sink to one of those aqua fina 5 gallon jugs you can buy as I don't drink the tap water out of the boat. Just a personal quirk I guess.

Thanks,

You are giving it waaaay to much credit as a wet bar - I consider it more of just a sink in the outer saloon. I do use it when fishing to rinse my hands off - little more than that (maybe to dump some old ice out of a drink glass when making a fresh one).

I have a 98 310 and can check what is on it - are you referring to the small gas spring that holds that sink lid up or the one that holds the engine hatch up?

The one holding the sink lid up.

I will be heading down to the boat in the next day or two and will get the measurement and info off the gas spring if I can still read it.

OK - here is the info - the spring arm travel distance is 3.25" . The pc of tape on there has the number 0300301 I believe is the Larson part number - I have seen tape with marker numbers on other parts on the boat and those have been larson stock numbers. You can get the rest of the info off the Attwood gas spring pics I am posting on this thread - let me know if you need any more info.

Thanks for the info. I believe that is a 20# shock. Will pick one up this weekend and put it on the lid try it out.
Thanks again.

20# sounds right - I found this detail on the attwoodmarine.com website - using the SL32 as the base there is only one spring lift that has that prefix. Says it is 20-120 available output force (boost) on that spring. Lists it as a 3" extended length shaft.


10.50 7.50 3.00 10mm Socket 20-120 SL32-XX-1* 20-120 SH32-XX-1* 20-120 ST32-XX-1*
