It provides 40 pounds of lift force, extending to a full 15 inches with a 9-1\/2 inch compressed length, giving a 5-1\/2 inch stroke of travel. The strut body is powder-coated steel for corrosion resistance, paired with a chrome-plated rod for smooth, repeatable extension and a clean finished look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMounting is via a 15 mm ball stud on one end and a 6 mm ball stud on the other, matching common marine and RV hatch, hood, and cover hardware. Because it is rated for both marine (1) and RV (2) use, it suits boat hatches, storage lids, console covers, and comparable RV lift-assist applications where a 40 lb, 15 inch gas spring is called for. Each unit ships individually as a single strut, ready to bolt onto existing ball studs or matching hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sea-Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 321464-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForce Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompressed Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStroke Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Stud Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Powder-coated steel body with chrome-plated rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.346 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marine and RV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 035514321853\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the force rating of the Sea-Dog 321464-1 gas lift spring?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog 321464-1 is rated at 40 pounds of lift force, enough to hold a hatch, cover, or lid open without extra bracing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is this gas spring when fully extended?\u003c\/strong\u003e Part number 321464-1 extends to 15 inches fully open and compresses down to 9-1\/2 inches, giving a 5-1\/2 inch stroke of travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size ball studs does the Sea-Dog 321464-1 use?\u003c\/strong\u003e One end mounts on a 15 mm ball stud and the other end on a 6 mm ball stud, so matching hardware is needed at each mounting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this gas spring made for marine use, RV use, or both?\u003c\/strong\u003e Sea-Dog lists the 321464-1 for both marine (boat hatch and cover) and RV applications, and it is manufactured to marine OE standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Sea-Dog 321464-1 gas lift spring made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a powder-coated steel body with a chrome-plated rod for corrosion resistance and smooth, repeatable extension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 321464-1 gas spring weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog 321464-1 weighs 0.346 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Sea-Dog 321464-1 come with mounting hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e The listing covers the gas spring strut itself, packaged individually, one per unit;
