Whitecap 20" Gas Spring - 20lb - Stainless Steel

The Whitecap 20" Gas Spring with a 20lb force rating is designed for boat owners, captains, and marine technicians who require dependable support for hatches, engine boxes, and cabin doors. This gas spring is essential for ensuring smooth operations on the water, preventing frustrations and safety hazards caused by corroded hardware and unreliable latching mechanisms.

Constructed entirely from marine-grade stainless steel, the Whitecap 20" Gas Spring is engineered to resist corrosion and salt spray degradation, which typically shortens the lifespan of standard steel springs. The 20-pound force rating ensures smooth and controlled opening and closing, avoiding sudden slam-shut behavior that is critical for safety in rough seas or when crew members are working below deck.

This gas spring is suitable for a variety of applications, including center consoles, cuddy cabins, larger sportfishing vessels, and commercial workboats. Its lightweight design, at just 0.5 pounds, allows for easy integration into confined spaces while providing sufficient mechanical advantage to support heavy hatches, lids, and access doors without binding or creep.
