A question about:
Gas Pressure Spring for Cruiser 32/37 Swimming Platform

on Jan 9, 2020
Hello I gave Cruiser40 made 2011. My swimming platform no longer functions properly. Is item no 22815 correct? Do ı need anything else?

Each spring has "power rating" - 1900N in this case, which is proper size for Cruiser 32. Check yours - it should be marked somehow on the original one. As the platform weight is different for each model - the spring can be different too.

Thank you. Do you know/have the proper size for C40? How can I check since nothing is disassembled yet? Is it possible?

I don't know, but it should be marked on the spring. You can also try to ask Bavaria. Otherwise you need a whole hinge, which is more expensive. Anyway - please note that replacing just a spring is a really tricky job, sometimes it may be impossible if the original hinge is bent. It took me half day in C32 to get it done, including cutting the old spring into parts, as it was impossible to dismantle otherwise. With whole hinge it would be way easier & faster.

Sounds like it could be even more difficult or may be impossible to do it on the water.
Anyhow thanks for your reply I will check with Bav and get back to you. If needed.

I had done it on the water. You just need to be stern-to, and - to be comfortable - two extra people (and some kind of lifting system - you can use halyard for this) to hold and secure, and flip swimming platform once you unscrew it.
