Replacing GAS shock for seadoo sportster 2004

[lparent27]

Hi,
I have a seadoo sportster 2004 4-tech and I need to replace the gas shock of the rear compartment ( engine compartment ). I found it on the www.spdhardware.com web site, but I need to know the good force of the gas shock. I have a choice of 20 to 180 ( P1 force ), someone have an idea???
Thanks!!!

I just replaced mine yesterday and everything works great. I bought two gas struts from www.spdhardware.com, the part number is SPD-GSNI-2800-60. The original factory struts are 50 psi, but I jumped up to 60psi. The extra 20 pounds (10 on each side) is not a big deal and I can still close the hatch without a problem. Plus it opens very well on its own when you pull the release latch. Its up to you if you want to upgrade or just go with factory pressure. Hope this info helps!
