I have a different option for you, but the Trailer Valet JXS Jack # TV64FR is not recommended for use in salt water per my contact at Trailer Valet.

Instead you will want to go with the Fulton Marine Jack - Square Tube, Fixed Mount - 28" Lift - 5,000 lbs # HD50000101 which has the same 5000lb rating but has a 600 Hour Salt Spray Rating so it will hold up perfectly in marine applications.

This jack fits trailer frames that are 3" wide x 5" tall which is virtually the same as the Trailer Valet option.

I included a video of the # HD50000101 for you to take a look at.

Though these two jacks do look to be nearly identical, there is one fairly large difference, and one lesser of one as well. The large one being the weight capacities they can handle. The #HD50000101 is rated up to 5,000 pounds, whereas the…

The mounting bracket for the #TV34FR is actually identical to the bracket on the #TV64FR that you were looking at. The holes are 1" apart on center vertically, and 5-1/2" apart horizontally. I have attached a picture for your reference.

Hey Antoine, so the two kits you mentioned are actually really similar and honestly I would go with the part #ETBC7 if I were you. The #ETBC7L is basically the same thing minus a couple wires and breakers so you may as well get the kit that has…
