FWIW -
My short boat trip got cancelled (for non boat related reasons), so I decided to do a thorough cleaning of the inside to burn off frustration. While cleaning under the stove I heard the propane hose rub on the bottom of the stove. I looked back there with a mirror and noticed when the stove is locked in the static/vertical position, the propane hose touches the bottom of the stove as it goes vertical to the fitting near the top of the stove. This is a safety issue to me, so I made an "L" shaped guide and velocroed it in place to give the hose a 1/2" gap.
Your boats may be different, but it's worth a look behind the bottom of the stove with a mirror.

Oh the cockpit locker lid. Sorry everyone I had anchor locker lid on my mind. What I've done with my "cockpit" locker lid is taken off the lock hasp and put a short webbing loop on the lid. Really saves my shins. The lid also has a small vinyl covered wire that clips to the life line or stern railing to hold it up. I've never considered a gas spring, probably could get one to work, but, for me, think it would get in the way when I'm stuffing too much into the locker.

Rob : I have a 1/8" short nylon line tied to the hasp with a loop in the open end. Lift up the locker lid and the loop goes around the top of the primary winch to hold the lid open. Lid down - that nylon line just lays on the cockpit floor out of the way!!

Was thinking about the anchor locker lid a little more, was into it yesterday. I use a padlock hasp to open and close the lid, then use the wire/clip to hold it. Are you missing either?

Tuesday or Wednesday this week it’s getting welded on the boat with the rest of the parts, then hoping this coming weekend we can do a dry fit of the completed bow sprit.

Shamrock has a short vinyl covered wire under the lid, clips to the pulpit, and holds the anchor locker lid up. It's up or down no slamming.
