The Whitecap 20" Gas Spring - 80lb - Black Nitrate provides essential lift assistance and dampening for heavy marine hatches, engine covers, and storage compartments. Designed for the demanding saltwater environment, this 80-pound force spring ensures that large lids remain securely open during maintenance or gear retrieval. Boaters and commercial fishermen rely on these gas shocks to prevent accidental slamming, which protects both the vessel's fiberglass and the safety of the crew.
This G-3480C model features a durable black nitrate finish that offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard painted steel components. The technical specifications include an extended length of 20 inches and a compressed length of 12 inches, providing a versatile stroke for various deck configurations. With an 18mm tube diameter and an 8mm rod, the internal pressure is calibrated to a P1 force of 80 pounds, delivering consistent performance through thousands of cycles.
Installation of the Whitecap 20" Gas Spring - 80lb - Black Nitrate is straightforward for those looking to upgrade or replace worn-out OEM struts on center consoles, cruisers, or pontoon boats. The 80lb rating is specifically suited for medium-to-heavy applications where a lighter 40lb or 60lb spring might fail to support the weight of a reinforced hatch. Owners should verify their mounting point distances and ball stud sizes to ensure a perfect fit for this high-performance marine hardware.
