BAVARIA Gas Pressure Spring for Cruiser 32/37 Swimming Platform

Dear customer, please email: [email protected] in this case.

Dear customer, please email: [email protected] for an offer. Thanks.

I received the following advice by email from Bavaria: "To change the gas springs, the hull and bathing platform hinges are removed. Then the hinge is clamped in a vise so that the pin that holds the gas spring in the hinge can be removed and reinserted later." I am going to attempt this myself and will try to make a video as I go.

Hi David. How did it go with the replacement? I,m receiving my new springs tomorrow and I'm very interested in any tips regarding the operation :)

Hi Roger. I haven't attempted the replacement as yet as I need to devise a method of suspending the swim platform while removing the hinges. I considered using the dinghy davit, but even so, I am concerned about doing this over the water and might only attempt this project when we next haul out in August/September.

Okay, thank you for the answer. I'm pondering this right now and started thinking that lowering the platform onto my inflatable dinghy and let it rest there might be the easiest way to be able to get the job done. I'll also check my local marina tomorrow, maybe the've done it before. Have a nice summer.

I've finally completed the gas spring replacement and documented the process here: https://bavariayacht.org/forum/index.php/topic,3921.0.html
