I got mine from ETrailer a month ago without issues. I kept watching the price on it drop and drop and ended up getting it for 126$. Bolted right on w/o any issues. Don't have any issues maneuvering in tight quarters.

I bought this jack, https://www.harborfreight.com/1500-l...ack-67500.HTML installed 1 inch stainless spacers and new stainless bolts, works good. 45.00 total.

So I ordered and installed the Fulton F2 and no kidding it is a bigger POS than the factory jack on my RT188 Trailer. I can pull it up and back easily but the wheel will not orient around when changing directions unless I kick it, any ideas?
Try to find a jack that has a ball bearing caster instead of a welded one.

Just curious in regards to the Fulton jack. Is anyone else having to kick the wheel to get it to swivel? Does the Fulton have ball bearings at the swivel? I was looking to purchase a Fulton however I am reluctant to buy more of the same problem...
I think the Fulton (141133) XLT Sharkskin Finish Bolt-On Swing-Away Jack would be a good jack but you have to do a simple modification as shown on the first page. Probably the way I will go. Etrailer is allowing me to return the Fulton F2 for a refund for being defective for the wheel not spinning. I put the factory jack/wheel back on and it works so much better than the F2.
Well I used a black phenolic panel and spaced it out from the frame so the wheel did not hit the trailer. It turns super easy now. Thought that phenolic panel looked good with black trailer and it will be durable.
I believe I have misunderstood this tread. The problem that I have with my OEM jack is the wheel that contacts the ground is difficult to swivel to move/position the boat/trailer. My OEM jack rotates just fine in regards to vertical to horizontal positioning for locking/towing.
I did the same thing bass8 did in the above post. He is very smart to think of this, and it worked great. Not long ago, I tried a different jack and did not like it. Took it off and returned it and got my money back and put the old jack back on until I could decide what to do.....
I liked this Fulton but just did not want to wallow out the pin hole and have it crooked or do other adaptions... When I saw bass8 solution above I immediately liked it. I picked up the jack at Amazon for about $90 and got some washers at Lowe's and did exactly what bass8 has a picture of......it looks great, it works great and I appreciate him working out the kinks and posting the picture....
I think my original jack was on its last legs too....it seemed to be angled at the junction of the two pipes. I was afraid it might collapse and it has not been used much. I launch the boat and it stays on a lift pretty much all summer.
GOOD JOB SIR.....and thank you for the picture and figuring out a nice solution. I like this solution a lot and like the new jack.
