    Don't know but be sure that you get one that is no longer than the factory jack. A small space indeed.

    I just did a complete jack change out on an RT178. Bolt on Fulton 1200-pound capacity. Model # XP10 0101. I believe this should work well with an RT188 also.

    Please let us know how you like it. I have a 2022 RT188p and the OEM trailer jack is a little wonky. There is play in the pin which allows it to be about 5* out of plumb. Tightening the bolts didn't help.

    ^^^^ Exactly why I changed mine out to a Fulton......wonky China junk is an appropriate description! Also, the jack is too long..... had to kick the dolly wheel to get it more vertical under the boat.

    The trailers may have changed. Mine was made by Ranger. I changed the one I had out with this..FULTON 141133 XLT... It is very heavy duty and easy to use. I did have to get a little spacer for it but that was easy and no big deal. Works great...and NO WIGGLE.

    It has a big wheel and moves easily and is very stout and heavy duty. I have had it about 4 years now and no troubles at all. Bought mine on Amazon.

    This is a thumbnail picture of the phenolic spacer. Click on it to enlarge it.

    Several things could be easily adapted to fit to just bring the jack out a little. I am sure a piece of treated marine plywood would work just as well or you could come up with something you like. This jack has grease fittings and a very heavy duty tire. I have not had one problem with it. I would do the same thing again. But check your trailer. Mine is an older trailer and I am not sure about your design since it is newer. Good luck.

    Thanks for the reply and picture.
    Will let you know how it works out on my 2021 trailer.
    I am impressed with the XLT. really heavy built and with 3 grease fittings.
