The Attwood Marine SL36-40-5 is a marine-grade gas lift support strut designed to provide smooth, controlled opening and closing for hatches, lids, and compartment doors on boats and marine applications. This compact gas spring delivers 40 pounds of lifting force with a 7-inch stroke length, making it ideal for smaller access panels and lightweight hatch covers.

Key Specifications:

• Lifting force: 40 pounds
• Stroke length: 7 inches
• Compressed length: 10.2 inches
