Spring front hatch c22
Spring front hatch c22
Does anybody have a source for the spring (hatch prop) for the front hatch on a C22. I broke mine and the front hatch will not stay up without attaching a line to the hatch and tying it off to the mast (pain).

You'll probably have a rough time finding that spring unless someone here can send you one. Perhaps you could install one of these?

try to fix your spring, my spring broke where it attaches at the bottom. I put some heat to it, so that I could bend it.

I've slept since then. but I would swear that West Marine has that stuff in their print catalog. I remember seeing thinking crap it's a spring, how could that break?
Now we know.
EDIT: Actually it was bass pro shops. Maybe I've been reading too many catalogs?

No photo, but pitcher this in your mind. It takes two one on each side http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-8 ... 003cd6bb75 that is what the spring looks like when open, to close you just push down on the center of both springs at the same time. P S my broken spring was not hard to fix. Use a torch to heat it, where you wont to bend it
I would love to see a pic of somebody's spring(s) showing where they are mounted.
My hatch just has two rods (one on each side) that run through a small swival sleeve. A knurled nobbed bolt locks them in place.

Good find! I didn't realize that this application of the spring was that often used. You learn something new every day.Chrysler20%26 wrote:No photo, but pitcher this in your mind.
