Trailer jacks for Boatmate trailers

[Intense]

Hey folks,

The jack on my trailer is near the end of it's life...and is becoming a bit of a safety concern.

Looking at the way it's bolted to the trailer, there seems to be some proprietary way Fulton made these jacks for Boatmate. I could be completely off-base though.

Can anyone confirm this? Or can I use any universal trailer jack on the market? I''d love to upgrade to the XLT

When I added my Fulton F2 to my old Prestige Trailer I had to get an adapter plate. I actually ordered it from SmoothWaterMan on this site as he has a fab shop. I will have to look at my boatmate when I get home to see if it requires the same plate.

Boatmate has jacks on their website. Just provide them with the trailer VIN and they can make sure you have the correct jack. Just ordered one from them earlier this year for my trailer.

I use the harbor freight one just mounted next to the spot the old one was. It is cheaper and works just as good. I got it shortly after buying the boat and it is still good as new.
