Whitecap Marine-Grade Gas Spring | 9.5" to 15" Travel, 40 lb Force

Heavier compartment lids and hatch doors need more than a token gas spring to stay open, and this one is built for exactly that. Marine-grade 316 stainless steel resists the corrosion that eventually kills lesser struts, while 40 lb of force is enough to hold up bulkier doors that a 20 lb spring would let sag shut.

• 316 stainless steel for long-term corrosion resistance
• 9-1/2" compressed to 15" extended travel
• 6mm rod diameter, 15mm tube diameter
• 40 lb of operating force for heavier doors and hatches
• Same mounting geometry as common lighter-duty gas springs

If your compartment door has started drooping or won't stay up on its own, this higher-force strut is a straightforward upgrade that should hold it open reliably again.
