Whitecap 20" Gas Spring - 120lb - Stainless Steel

The Whitecap 20" Gas Spring – 120lb – Stainless Steel is an essential hydraulic support system designed for marine applications. It is particularly useful for holding cabin doors, hatch covers, engine compartments, and canvas frames securely in place. This product is ideal for boaters who want to eliminate the hassle of manual prop rods and chains, allowing for easier operation and reduced hand strain.

Constructed entirely from stainless steel, this 20-inch gas spring is built to withstand the harsh conditions of both saltwater and freshwater environments. Its 120-pound force rating allows it to support moderately heavy loads while ensuring smooth and controlled operation throughout its full stroke. The sealed gas chamber maintains consistent pressure, preventing sagging or sudden drops that could pose safety hazards.

Ideal for anglers and cruisers alike, this gas spring is perfect for securing overhead components, freeing up hands for fishing, docking, or deck work. It performs best when installed vertically or at slight angles, making it suitable for cabin doors, windshield frames, and removable hardtop supports. However, it is less effective in purely horizontal applications where side-loading may reduce its lifespan.
