I have a Rage 15 with the 175 Merc (no grief please, I like the boat). The engine cover is lifted by two gas shocks and the ones in my boat were the 20 lbs size, but they don't hold the cover up. I got tired of propping it up with a piece of wood so I replaced them with new 20 lbs gas shocks, figuring the old ones were worn out. New shocks don't hold up the cover either.

I am thinking the previous owner replaced the shocks with a smaller size for some reason. He did some other screwy fixes, so this would be no surprise. I'd like to know what size shocks are on other Rage 15's. Can anyone with a Rage 15 tell me the markings on their gas shocks, assuming they hold their engine cover up?

Thanks
