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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGas 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10mm ball fits the end socket of standard 10mm gas lift springs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16 inch-18 thread, 9\/16 inch long, with a 1\/2 inch hex nut to lock it down\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel resists corrosion from salt spray and washdowns\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBulk packaged so you buy only the count your project needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Sea-Dog reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat size ball is this stud?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's a 10mm ball, the common size for marine gas springs.
