i would contact Bennington or your dealer. when we ordered our 2022, we added the gate glides - not only do they have a recess to hold the gate open, you can now just push the door closed (without having to lift it) and it goes right into place.

Hi Can the gliders be installed on an older boat ? Or is the gate designed for the gliders?

they can be installed on any gate. it just screws into the floor and a piece (that slides up the gate) is riveted to the door

In case you prefer not to drill holes. Don’t use to wedge door, rather set door in curved low center and it won’t budge.

I use these door wedges to hold my gates open
Todd,
That’s my method too. Cheap and simple.
And easy on your foot if you run into and not a trip hazard when not in use IMO.

That is not the gate glide. We have those on the 2015.
Thanks for the tip! They’re pricey, but seem like the ideal solution.

Search out 'friction hinge'.
Some competitive brands are using these eliminating the need to lift the gate. Gate stays in whatever position it is left in. Very nice and high end feel to it!
