He may have been mistaken about the -80 version or maybe Nauticus doesn't make them anymore. The Nauticus Inc web site only shows the 70 and 90 lb versions in that size and style.

Followup on my earlier post. It made no difference mounting the struts on the other side of the top bracket, as I thought it might. There was still a conflict with the hardware preventing mounting it in the top or bottom holes. So, I replaced the black plastic spacer with a smaller diameter aluminum one and I could fit them ok. The resulting decrease in plate angle was from 25 degrees to 20 degrees.

    I thought I read on here that the 80lb ones worked best with our 25 footers?

    I think the 60lb actuators have a blue zip tie on the end of the boot. 80lb is black, 40lb is red.
