The AFCO Racing Products Steel Shock Monotube 7in 3C-8R (Model 74-7-3-8) is a purpose-built monotube shock absorber designed for high-performance marine racing and offshore applications. This shock delivers consistent damping control across varying load conditions, making it an essential suspension component for boats that demand responsive handling in choppy water and challenging sea states.
The monotube design provides superior heat dissipation compared to twin-tube configurations, critical for sustained offshore runs where extended throttle time generates continuous suspension stress. With a compressed length of 12.95 inches and extended length of 18.85 inches, this shock offers a 5.9-inch stroke suitable for boats requiring moderate to aggressive suspension travel. The 2-inch outside diameter and 3C-R8 valve configuration deliver refined damping curves—the 3C designation indicates three-stage compression, while the R8 rating specifies rebound characteristics tuned for marine-specific conditions. IMCA approval confirms compliance with racing sanctioning body standards, ensuring this shock meets technical specifications for competition events and high-speed offshore applications.
This shock is engineered for serious offshore racers, performance-oriented recreational boaters, and marine suspension specialists who require verified damping control and repeatability. The steel construction with blue paint finish resists saltwater corrosion and provides durability in harsh marine environments. Weighing 4 pounds per unit, it integrates into existing mounting points on boats already configured for monotube suspensions. Whether upgrading a race boat's suspension geometry or replacing worn original equipment, the Steel Shock Monotube 7in 3C-8R delivers the precision damping and build quality that professional-grade marine racing demands.
