Default Engine Hatch Struts

I need new struts for my engine hatch. I pulled the information below off the existing struts and sent an email to the distributor as well as a voice mail but have not heard back from them.

Any suggestion on where you guys buy these types of parts ?

Distributor - Service Plus Distribution
Part # - SPD-GSCS-6796

These parts are fairly generic. Any Marine Supply store sells them. You need to figure out three things:

1) Length compressed
2) Length extended
3) Lbs of force

I can tell you that these are typically the highest amount of force since hatches are big and heavy. You can upgrade from painted steel to SS if you prefer, though they are a bit more cash.
