Recommended Jack for Changing Tires on Marine Master Tandem Axle Boat Trailer

Question

Question:

I had a flat tire today on the right, rear tire, and ran into problems finding a suitable tire jack that would work on the trailer frame. My car jack Lexus GX 460 and a friends car jack Jeep both did not work. Can you please recommend the best tire jack to purchase for a Marine Master 23 boat trailer dual axle and best place to put the jack on the trailer frame. I looked at my manual and could not find this information. I have a 2021 Marine Master Monterey 224FS trailer. Thank you

Since you have a tandem axle trailer there is a simple and easy solution. I recommend using the Andersen Rapid Jack # AM3620. This will allow you to raise your axle and change your tire by driving your good wheel onto the jack. It also doubles as a trailer jack base by turning the Rapid Jack on its side and resting the shaft of your trailer jack in the molded circle.

I have attached a review video so you can see how it works.
