Recommended 1,200-lb Jack For Ranger Boat Trailer

Question

Question:

Hello I have a fulton trailer jack for my ranger boat trailer. It is from 2004. The only numbers I can find on it is that it is rated for 1200lbs. I would like to replace it and the problem I am having is finding the correct bolt pattern for the bracket. The mounting holes are 5 9/16x 4inch center to center. Is there anything out there that matches up to that? I would prefer to stick with a fulton but it is not a must. I do have a couple pictures if you would like. Thank you!

I was not able to find the same bolt pattern you said your older Fulton jack has for your Ranger boat trailer, but I may have a solution that will work for you.

I recommend going with a jack like the Fulton Round, Snap-Ring Swivel Marine Jack, part # FTJ12000101. This works with a trailer frame up to 3-inches wide and 5-inches tall. I have attached a photo of an installation of this jack on a trailer you can check out. This jack has a 10-inch lift capacity and is rated for 1,200-lbs.

I would use a protractor, see photo, place the protractor on the edge of the inside of one side of the trailer frame and the other inside edge of the trailer frame should be parallel with the 50 degree line on the protractor. Another way to verify…

Waylon, it does look like the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel #AM20539 is the same thing as the Dexstar 17-233 wheels you're referring too. These are silver wheels with a 6 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern, a 0 offset, and are made in the USA.
