The 081475<\/strong> gas strut from Ressorts SPEC<\/strong><\/em> is designed for superior performance in marine environments where salt, humidity, and constant motion demand uncompromising reliability. Built from marine-grade 316L stainless steel<\/strong>, this model ensures excellent corrosion resistance, even under prolonged exposure to saltwater. Lightweight plastic ball bushing end fittings<\/strong> provide secure, snap-on installation while reducing overall weight, making it ideal for use on hatches, lockers, and companionway covers.<\/p>\n This strut delivers a force of 200 Newtons<\/strong> with a 100 mm stroke<\/strong>, ensuring powerful yet controlled lifting and dampening action. With a total deployed length of 276 mm including end fittings<\/strong> (240 mm without), it is compact enough for tight spaces while still offering robust performance. Tested to the ASTM B117 salt spray standard<\/a>, it withstands over 500 hours of continuous exposure, guaranteeing long-lasting reliability on board.<\/p>\n Thanks to its plastic ball bushings, the 081475 gas spring<\/strong> is quick and easy to install by snapping onto compatible ball studs. Its compact design allows mounting even in restricted spaces, ensuring secure support for marine hatches and lockers.<\/p>\n To extend service life, rinse with fresh water after sailing, especially after saltwater exposure. Apply a marine-grade lubricant such as silicone spray or lanolin on moving parts to maintain smooth operation and prevent wear.<\/p>\n Compatible with Jeanneau<\/strong><\/a> and Beneteau<\/strong><\/a> boats.<\/p>\n The 081475 gas spring<\/strong> is an excellent choice for sailors seeking a reliable, corrosion-resistant solution for medium-duty onboard applications. Its 200N force makes it suitable for hatches, lockers, and similar fixtures on B\u00e9n\u00e9teau and Jeanneau<\/strong> boats. While its plastic end fittings are lighter than stainless steel alternatives, they offer quick installation and corrosion resistance. For most marine uses, this gas spring combines durability, ease of use, and proven performance under salt spray testing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nSpecifications<\/h2>\n
