ARANA 15" 35 lb Gas Struts for Boat Hatch — 2-Pack 14.49" Extended Nylon Ball Ends, Smooth Hold

ARANA 4419 gas struts are a 2-pack of 15-inch, 35-pound lift shocks designed to support and smoothly hold open boat hatches, toolbox lids, camper windows and similar panels.

These gas springs give controlled lift and hold for medium-weight panels. Each strut measures 14.49" fully extended and 9.25" compressed, with 10 mm nylon ball-socket end fittings for simple snap-on installation. The pair is engineered to replace common OEM part numbers and works across marine, RV, and utility applications where a controlled assist and stable hold are needed.

How much weight will one pair of ARANA 4419 struts support?

A matched pair is intended to assist panels that weigh roughly between 25 and 38 pounds. The nominal force per strut is 35 pounds, and when used as a balanced pair they provide steady lift and holding force for mid-weight lids and hatches. For heavier panels, consider a heavier-rated model or additional support.

• Rated force: 35 lb per strut
• Optimal supported panel weight (pair): ~25–38 lb
• Not recommended as sole support for loads exceeding specified range
