Euplokeer 17-inch Gas Struts 60 lb (2-Pack) — Replacement Lift Supports with Brackets for Boat Hatches & RV Storage

Two 17-inch Euplokeer gas struts (60 lb each) with brackets and screws designed to replace GSNI-5200-60-style lift supports for boat seat hatches, RV storage doors and similar lids.

These replacement gas shocks are a ready-made kit if you need to restore controlled opening and holding power to boat engine hatches, camper storage doors, truck caps, or custom lids. Each kit includes two 17.0-inch gas springs rated at 60 pounds (267 N) of force, two L-style ball-stud brackets, two flat-bottomed brackets and installation screws so you can complete a straightforward swap or DIY installation with minimal tools.

How do I know if these will fit my hatch or lid?

Check three key details on your current strut: the extended length, the pound (force) rating, and any OEM/interchange numbers stamped on the cylinder. If your old unit matches the 17.0-inch extended length and 60 lb force or one of the listed interchange numbers, this pair will be a direct replacement.

• Measure extended length of your present gas strut for size confirmation.
• Compare pound force or OEM interchange numbers like GSNI-5200-60, SPD-5200-60, SL36-60-1.
• Use included 10mm ball-stud brackets when your application requires ball-end mounting.

What hardware comes in the box and what tools do I need?

The kit is supplied with two gas springs, two L-brackets (ball-stud), two flat-bottomed brackets and 16 installation screws for secure attachment. Installation is designed to be simple and typically requires only a flat-head screwdriver and basic hand tools; bracket mounting uses standard fasteners so you can complete most installs quickly.

• Included: 2 gas struts, 2 L ball-stud brackets, 2 flat-bottom brackets, 16 screws.
• Tools: flat-head screwdriver; a wrench or socket for ball-stud tightening may be helpful.
• DIY tip: remove old studs first to use existing holes when possible for easier alignment.

What applications and surfaces are these gas shocks suitable for?

They are intended for a wide range of recreational and light-industrial lids: boat seat engine hatch covers, RV and camper storage doors, truck camper caps, food-truck windows and wooden box lids when the force rating fits. The 60 lb rating is meant for medium-duty lids—use the force and measurements to confirm compatibility with your specific project.

• Common uses: boat engine hatches, RV storage doors, camper shells, truck caps.
• Also suitable for DIY lids like food-truck windows or storage boxes if matched by force.
• Not intended for applications requiring precise damping or medical-grade motion control.

How do I choose the correct replacement and extend product life?

Select a replacement by matching the original strut’s extended length, force rating and OEM interchange numbers. Install brackets securely and avoid side loading or forcing the strut beyond its travel range; periodic inspection of mounting points will help ensure consistent performance.

• Match extended length and 60 lb force to your original strut specifications.
• Use the included ball-stud brackets for correct pivot mounting and alignment.
• Inspect mounting screws and brackets periodically for wear or loosening.
