BAVARIA Gas Pressure Spring for Cruiser 32/37 Swimming Platform

Dear Keith, the natural position of the spring is long. So the Pressure is relieve. Your SVB-team.

Dear Paul, we are not sure, but we will check this for you. Please send us your Hull Identification Number to our: Bavaria@SVB.de // Then you will get a short offer. Your SVB-team.

Each spring has "power rating" - 1900N in this case, which is proper size for Cruiser 32. Check yours - it should be marked somehow on the original one. As the platform weight is different for each model - the spring can be different too.

Thank you. Do you know/have the proper size for C40? How can I check since nothing is disassembled yet? Is it possible?

I don't know, but it should be marked on the spring. You can also try to ask Bavaria. Otherwise you need a whole hinge, which is more expensive. Anyway - please note that replacing just a spring is a really tricky job, sometimes it may be impossible if the original hinge is bent. It took me half day in C32 to get it done, including cutting the old spring into parts, as it was impossible to dismantle otherwise. With whole hinge it would be way easier & faster.

Sounds like it could be even more difficult or may be impossible to do it on the water. Anyhow thanks for your reply I will check with Bav and get back to you. If needed.

I had done it on the water. You just need to be stern-to, and - to be comfortable - two extra people (and some kind of lifting system - you can use halyard for this) to hold and secure, and flip swimming platform once you unscrew it.

Dear customer, please email: bavaria@svb.de in this case.

Dear customer, please email: bavaria@svb.de for an offer. Thanks.

I received the following advice by email from Bavaria: "To change the gas springs, the hull and bathing platform hinges are removed. Then the hinge is clamped in a vise so that the pin that holds the gas spring in the hinge can be removed and reinserted later." I am going to attempt this myself and will try to make a video as I go.

Hi David. How did it go with the replacement? I,m receiving my new springs tomorrow and I'm very interested in any tips regarding the operation :)

Hi Roger. I haven't attempted the replacement as yet as I need to devise a method of suspending the swim platform while removing the hinges. I considered using the dinghy davit, but even so, I am concerned about doing this over the water and might only attempt this project when we next haul out in August/September.

Okay, thank you for the answer. I'm pondering this right now and started thinking that lowering the platform onto my inflatable dinghy and let it rest there might be the easiest way to be able to get the job done. I'll also check my local marina tomorrow, maybe the've done it before. Have a nice summer.

I've finally completed the gas spring replacement and documented the process here: https://bavariayacht.org/forum/index.php/topic,3921.0.html
