    Gas shock question

    Does anyone know the gas shock needed for the front outside rod lockers on a 205 ? Probably a 520/521 would be the same. I can't read the lettering on mine.

    IMG-1217.jpg I have a 2000 R83. These are the numbers on it. Don't know if they're the same size as yours but I would think it's pretty standard for a rod locker.

    Take it off and measure it from center of coupling ball to center of coupling ball on the shock itself. Should be like 15”, the Ranger z520c have 40 lb 15” shocks on the rod locker. I literally just ordered lighter one for it and the front tackle lid because I thought they were a little too much force. I went with 30 lb 15” and it seems to be on the lighter side but works.
