Need Ski Tower Gas Shock Strut 2019 Cobalt 220s

I have 2019 Cobalt 220s and one of the two gas shocks/struts mounted in ski tower failed. I removed and found a sticker Columbia Struts part number 35496-230 label on the strut. This company no longer in business. Does anyone know where I can get replacement? Does anyone have a replace part number that's current/valid?

There are places like
www.greatlakesskipper.com that carry tons of OEM parts for boats like this - I'd start with them. If they don't have it, they're probably in the best position to find one, or point you in the right direction.
If you can't find a replacement, next best option is to measure the length and find something compatible - there are tons of options out there. This is one such resource -

Can I ask if a replacement part for the Columbia strut part number 35496-230 was found? I'm having a difficult time finding that replacement too. Thanks.

So glad you found us sc...
These have been sold out for awhile. Back in the day you could take yours into the local Napa auto store and they could source one very similar. May be worth a shot.
And welcome aboard mate.
