Gas assist tower shocks under warranty

[Johnny_Rock]

Anyone know if the shocks in the tower of my 2021 G23 are covered under warranty? How hard to DIY replace?

I've had mine out ('16), it wasn't that big of deal. Foggy in my brain as to the process. I do remember you can adjust them by rotating once released.
I'll look around to see if I saved any pictures. Why do you feel they need replaced?
I know my tower has over a couple 100 ups & downs over the last few years, can't get in or out of the shop otherwise. They are an aid when dropping the tower, resistant when raising. Why do you feel they need replaced?

Maybe this will help a little:

I don’t think they’re functioning anymore. Water on my lake is up; need to drop the tower to get in and out of my lift. Or pay $400 or $500 or $600 to move the lift…

The bummer is the stickers will need to come off to gain access, you may be able to get them off alive with a heat gun & patience, don't count on it. The panel are just pry Christmas tree studs.
I believe those gas shocks are spendy buggers, maybe yours just need a little adjustment. Even with the assist of the shocks those towers loaded with the speakers and the bimini are awkward heavy. I've got it down to a science, but I still have to go into 3 big breaths power lifting mode. 2 people can handle it, with or without shocks.
Good luck, chart the process if you go that direction.

You can compare the pictures above somewhat with screw access.

Umm, scratch that last thought, you can access the screw without removing stickers, I found a picture. The panel and handle will still need to be removed.

Would these pictures be available. I just get a placeholder

thanks

Pictures got eaten on a site crash. Here's what I found in the archives, hope it helps a little.

Thanks for the pictures.

Just to be certain. These are the shocks on Nautique Parts site

[Scooter G]

Looks like the correct ones, and the only tower struts listed for a G on Nautique Parts. You can re-use your current shock ends. I would call or email NP just to be certain.
$267+, ouch. Are you out of warranty?
Use the code PND for 10% off, that will get you covered for taxes and shipping.
