Selden Rodkicker Gas Spring

[Ken13559]

The Gas Spring has completely leaked from my Rodkicker Type-10. I intend to get a new gas spring but I don't know which is suitable.
I dismantle the gas spring and found this stamp on the cylinder body:
"Aratron G28-250-1200N-02" This is not Selden part number.
So do I go for the Normal or Hard gas spring ?

My boat detail as follows:
H326 Displacement: 8550 lbs
LOA: 32ft
Full Batten Mainsail
Boom Length: >12ft

Here's a link to a similar question/answer I gave a few years back:

The only difference being you are in Singapore and may need to contact a local Selden distributor rather than a US based one.

Brian, thanks. Think I'll write to Selden. There isn't a Selden dealer here in Singapore. Nearest one is Phuket (Thailand). Would you believe it, its cheaper to mail order from US things I couldn't get here than to order from anywhere in this region. I regularly buy stuff from WM and Defender. Just wish they carry Selden parts.

Found the answer. Mine uses Hard Gas Spring.
