Four different models of rodkicker are available:
The rodkicker facilitates reefing the sail, it maintains the boom, preventing it from dropping in the cockpit or on deck and it avoids the use of a topping lift. The gas spring, which is sold separately, presses the boom up when the downhauling-tackle is released. For masthead yachts the weaker spring is recommended while fractional rigs, having a relatively long boom, should be used with the stronger gas spring.
Note: delivered without gas spring and downhaul tackle. Mast and boom fittings are sold separately.

Hi which gas spring is appropriate for the Bavaria 46 2007 year of production? Thank you and regards Piotr
Hi. I bought this gas spring to replace the old one becase was damaged. I have a Bavaria 40 Cruiser/2010yr. The model depends to the weight of the boom, but I suppose that the same model will work correctly in your yacht. Regarding the lenght, the spring comes with an aluminium tube to adapt the spring to the lenght of the rodkiker and also with a nylon bumper to fix to the top of the rodkiker. My model is 42215 - Gas spring 2500N hard / for type 20.
