Your tongue weight is going to be 10-15% of your trailer weight. With a 5,000 lb boat and assuming a tandem axle trailer weighing an average of 1,000 lbs that puts you at 600-900 lbs of tongue weight. This would allow you to use the Fulton Bolt-Thru Swivel Marine Jack # FXP10 you were looking at. It has a lift capacity of 1,200 lbs which will be more than enough. It has a bracket height of 14-1/2" retracted, 24-1/2" extended, and a 10" lift.

However, my personal recommendation would be the Fulton Bolt-Thru Swivel Marine Jack with Dual Wheels # FXPD15L. This has a slightly higher capacity at 1,500 lbs with a 12" lift. It is the dual wheels that really make it a great choice. This gives adds additional stability and makes maneuvering a lot easier.

I attached a diagram and instructions on where and how often to grease the Demco Hijacker part #DM6077 that you have. It's recommended that you use white lithium grease like the part #L11354 for a cartridge for a grease gun.

Answer 9

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…
