Gas springs like this one use a sealed, pressurized cylinder to provide smooth, controlled lift and hold-open force, eliminating the need for separate hatch props or manual latches that can slip or fail. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in the marine environment, making it suitable for use on deck hatches, console lids, and other components exposed to saltwater spray and UV exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model is sized 17 x 10 inches with a 40 lb force rating, matching it to hatches and lids of a corresponding size and weight. It falls within Attwood's boat hatch and adjuster hardware line and is intended as a direct-fit replacement or new installation component for compatible hatch and lid assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Attwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e ST36-40-5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gas Spring (Hatch Support Strut)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17 x 10 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForce Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5416 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 022697364050\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Attwood ST36-40-5 used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Attwood ST36-40-5 is a stainless steel gas spring used to support and hold open boat hatches, lids, and access panels, providing smooth controlled lift instead of a manual prop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the ST36-40-5 gas spring made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion in marine, saltwater-exposed environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is this gas spring?\u003c\/strong\u003e The ST36-40-5 measures 17 x 10 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the force rating of the ST36-40-5?\u003c\/strong\u003e This gas spring has a 40 lb force rating, which determines the size and weight of hatch or lid it is designed to support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Attwood ST36-40-5 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The ST36-40-5 gas spring weighs 0.5416 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the ST36-40-5 suitable for saltwater use?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, its stainless steel construction is designed to resist corrosion from saltwater spray and marine exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat category of boat hardware does the ST36-40-5 belong to?\u003c\/strong\u003e The ST36-40-5 is part of Attwood's boat hatches and adjusters hardware category.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the ST36-40-5 come with mounting hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e The dossier for the Attwood ST36-40-5 does not specify included mounting hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the ST36-40-5 be used to replace a worn hatch prop?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the ST36-40-5 gas spring is designed to support and hold open hatches and lids, making it suitable as a replacement for a failed or worn hatch support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Attwood ST36-40-5?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for the Attwood ST36-40-5 gas spring is 022697364050.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Attwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989679321307,"sku":"ATT-ST36-40-5","price":40.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/i_6f1c1a1a-5db3-405a-ae73-3bcc93cb84de.jpg?v=1785349178","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/attwood-st36-40-5-stainless-steel-gas-spring-17-in-extended-10-in-stroke-40-lb-force-boat-hatch-lift-support","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
