 I used the little spring thingy that becomes locked when you open it.
It was inexpensive, easy to install and works great, but one negative is
that if you bump it accidentally it drops the lid

Has anyone fitted a gas strut to keep chart table open on its own? If so
could you tell me what size you used.  

Thanks
