What Is the Height of the Pro Series Snap-Ring Swivel Marine Jack From Mount to the Ground

Question:

What is the distance from the center of the mounting bracket to the ground on that jack? I currently have the Fulton FXPD15L dual wheel swing away jack just got it and when I connect the trailer to my truck and wind the jack all the way down theres no clearance to swing the jack up. I dont want to change the on my hitch since the boat trailer sits level with the truck with the current .

The Pro Series Snap-Ring Swivel Marine Jack, # PSEJ10000101, mounting bracket measures 13 inches from frame to ground when the jack is retracted. When extended the measurement is 23 inches from the bracket to the ground. This distance will provide a 10 inch lift for this jack.

The Fulton Jack # FXPD15L measures 12-3/4 inches from frame to ground. This Pro Series jack is actually a 1/4 inch taller.

If you are needing a jack that has a shorter retracted height, the Fulton F2 Swing-Up Trailer Jack, # F1413040134, might be the one that will work for your application. The F2 Swing-Up has a retracted height that will be close to 11-1/4 inches from the ground to the center of the mount. The lift capacity of this jack is 1,600 lbs.

If you are looking for a jack with less space between the mounting bracket and the top of the jack, I recommend looking at the Fulton Bolt-Thru Swivel Marine Jack # FXP10. The retracted bracket height is the same as the FXPD15L at 12-3/4 inches. However, from the bracket to the top of the jack measures at 10-1/2 inches. This measurement is 2 inches shorter than on your Fulton jack. When the jack is put in the stow position, the top of the Fulton jack, # FXP10, will be 2 inches farther away from your tow vehicle. The # FXP10 has a lift capacity of 1,200 lbs, which is more than the Pro Series jack # PSEJ10000101.
