Sea-Dog 321586 Gas Lift Ball Stud 10mm Stainless
Sea-Dog 321586 Gas Lift Ball Stud 10mm Stainless — Product description
The Sea-Dog gas lift ball stud gives a gas strut's end socket a solid 10mm ball to snap over. It's 304 stainless with a 5/16 inch-18 thread and a 1/2 inch hex nut, so it props hatches, engine covers, and seat bases and shrugs off salt spray.
Gas lift springs don't do much good without something to clip onto. That's this little part. The Sea-Dog gas lift ball stud gives the end socket of a gas strut a solid ball to snap over, so your hatch, engine cover, livewell lid, or seat base stays propped where you set it.
The ball measures 10mm, which is the common size for most marine gas springs. It threads in on a 5/16 inch-18 stud, 9/16 inch long, and locks down with the 1/2 inch hex nut. Everything's 304 stainless steel, so it holds up to salt spray and washdowns without rusting or seizing in place.
You'll usually need two per strut, one at each end. This is the bulk-pack single stud, so grab the count your job calls for. If you're swapping out a worn stud, match the 10mm ball and the thread and you're set.
