on Jan 23, 2021
Hi , can anyone confirm that this kit shown includes all 3 items in the photo shown , Gas Strut, Spacer Tube and End Cap. Item 42215

Yes it does - but you will need 2 end caps, don’t discard the old ends as you need to use one..
The kit would be better if it included 2 ends....
Also use some duralac paste or similar when screwing on the cap ends..

Thanks Denis, your feedback is much appreciated . In respect to the end caps you mention , not sure what you mean on this one . Just to put you in the picture on this one , I purchased a brand new Rodkicker model 20 last week from SVB but never ordered the Gas Strut option, now I have decided that was a bad move and will fit this option . Thanks Gordon

The cap ends screw onto both ends of the gas strut - so you end up with the strut with a flat ‘plate’ on both ends.. One will go against the spacer ( comes in the kit ) and the other end goes against the Alu sleeve - So you need 2 end caps ... I had allot of difficulty with my rodkicker selection and I found the guy in svb excellent - maybe call them ? Or try to pm me - not sure how !

Thanks you very much Denis, your help is much appreciated. I have already ordered the Gas Kit so once it arrives im sure I'll be able to source something .
Thanks Gordon

Hello Kadri, Sorry but I have not yet fitted the new Bearing and Housing as we require the boat out of the water , planned for end of year , but I did do a lot of measuring etc before placing my order and I am 99% confident it is the correct part .
Regards
Gordon
