    Gas shocks for rod box and compartments

    Does anyone know what amount of poundage or pressure I would need on a rod box lid. I was thinking around 40 lbs to withstand the weight if it rains and the carpet is wet the lids still stay up.

    Reggie, do you think 20# would be sufficient for the back lid over the gas tank on a '98 203? If I'm gonna order new ones for the rod lockers and the tackle storage up front, I might as well get one for the gas tank area. The printing on the one in there now isn't legible any more. All 4 seem to be the same length best I can tell?

    Thanks!

    I put (link below) these ones on my brothers Champ 191 and they work great and look dapper in stainless steal.
