    Trailer jack

    I'd like to replace the jack on my 2014 nitro boat trailer with a new one, thinking about the wide wheel style
    anyone using one and do you like it?

    I carry 2 of these. Plenty of lifting power, Light, and both fit behid the rear seat of my truck in nice little carry bags. I did throw out the sockets and handle...as I carry a nice breaker bar and sockets already.

    those are handy to carry in truck but he is asking about the tongue jack mounted on the trailer I believe?

    I added the Fulton F-2 duel wheel Jack to the side of the trailer with an aluminum mounting plate. So much easier to lift now !!

    I tried the dual wheel set-up and went back to single. Too much rolling friction and the dals didn't like to change direction. Cute, but inefficient.

    I don't move mine much. It's a duel axle. But my partner has a single axle and it moves super easy on concrete !

    I have the Fulton F2 single wide wheel and love it! Had it 5 or 6 years. Cat's meow!

    Dutton-Lainson Company tongue jack is head and shoulders better than anything i have ever used. Big time. And my boat/trailer lives in the saltwater. Made in the USA. It is so next level there literally is nothing close.

    Skeeter dropped the Fulton F2 for the Dutton-Lainson jack. I have the Fulton F2 on my 2015 Skeeter. Would like to upgrade to the Dutton!

    My 2012 Shorelandr trailer uses Dutton-Lainson trailer jack, winch and coupler, you can buy a rebuild kit for the coupler too.
