    03 Stratos trailer jack mounting plate

    Good day all.
    Last week I bought a 2003 185 DC (Javelin Series) that has a concave faced mounting plate for the tongue jack.
    Well, the jack was fakakta from the get-go, but I'm having trouble finding a replacement with a convex mounting face to fit the trailer bracket.
    I may have to cut the welds where the bolt is tacked inside the bracket to replace it with a longer bolt, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.
    Has anyone else experienced this conundrum?

    Re: 03 Stratos trailer jack mounting plate (Todd Morgan)

    I was able to find a huge, sturdy washer to cover the concave part of the mounting bracket. I had to get it done in short order, or not use the boat, which was not an option. I could have used an out of the box solution, but I wasn't about to hack the mounting plate off the trailer or use the b'ugly spanner brackets provided.
    Thanks for letting me me know that there actually is a jack available that will work.
    I had never seen one like that before.
