Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology to describe my problem. I'm remodelling the rod lockers on my 16' fishing boat. I'm looking for a product to keep the locker lids from dropping down and snapping the rod tips. Any suggestions?
: Do you mean like the gas struts they use on hatchbacks? I was thinking of using a pair on my boat, was going to get them from a breaker's yard, or just buy them new from a car accessory shop if I can't find what I want in the yard.
