Need to replace a worn-out gas spring on a boat hatch, livewell lid, deck box, or maybe even a piece of furniture or automotive compartment? This is a high-quality stainless steel gas strut from Attwood. The key specs: it's 7.5 inches long when fully extended, has a 2.25 inch stroke, and compresses down to 5.25 inches. It provides 40 pounds of lifting force, which is a common medium-duty strength.
The whole thing is built with corrosion-resistant #316 stainless steel (the rod and the pressure tube), which is perfect for marine or outdoor use where it'll be exposed to moisture and salt. It's much more durable than cheaper chrome-plated options. The part number is Attwood SL31405 (or ATTSL31405). Make sure to measure your old strut's length and force (usually marked in lbs or Newtons) to ensure this is the correct replacement. Installation is usually straightforward with ball sockets or mounting brackets. A reliable part for keeping your hatches propped open safely.
