To determine the correct jack capacity for your boat trailer, you will need to know the tongue weight of the trailer. Once the tongue weight is known you can select a jack with a lift capacity that is equal to or greater than the tongue weight of your trailer.
Typically tongue weights on boat trailers do not exceed 15 percent of the gross trailer weight capacity. Using this figure your tongue weight most likely will not exceed 1,000 lbs, (slightly more than 15 percent of 6,000 lbs) so a 1,000 lb lift capacity jack would be a good choice. Selecting a jack with a slightly higher capacity, like the Fulton 1,200 lb Bolt-Thru Swivel Marine Jack , # FXP10, that you referenced would allow the jack to function easier and last longer.
The jack I would recommend for your boat trailer is the Fulton F2 Wide Track Swing-Up Trailer Jack, # F1413140334 or # F1413040134, depending on the size of your trailer tongue. The # F1413140334 jack fits 4 x 5 inch trailer frames and the # F1413040134 jack fits 3 x 3 and 3 x 4 inch trailer frames. These jacks are designed for marine use, have an extra wide wheel for stability and ease of movement on flat surfaces and are rated for 1,600 lbs lift capacity which will make raising and lowering your tongue very easy.
I added a link to all of the bolt on, side wind and swivel trailer jacks that we carry for you to select from.
