Try the Dana Marine Products link. Dana built the original hydraulic hinge system and many of the OEM builders use these parts. :wink:

Give him a call then. They are fairly easy once you'v got it all measured out. You may need to add a block or bracing to your existing engine hatch, but otherwise they just bolt right up to the carling (or you build a small alum plate to enable the ram mounts). They use a Merc style trim pump for power...
