Fulton F2 trailer jack installed

[jonyb]

So I finally got fairly caught up in the shop and dug my boat out today. Backed it into the center and got it ready for a long road trip tomorrow. It's going back to the dealer to have some issues resolved and the new Jabsco ballast system. I'm having them do 4 pumps. The extra one will be for external sacs with a long hose to place it on the seats, or a quick disconnect on a wall in the floorboard.

Pete at Smoothwatersports had posted on here about selling the Fulton F2 jack with a plate that matches up to the Boatmate trailers. I think I paid around $150 shipped for everything, which is about $40-$50 higher then you can find the jack for, but I got the plate and supported a small business, so to me it was worth it. Anyone thinking about doing this should hit him up. I got it pretty quick and the plate was perfect. I didn't paint it, I'll do that later. I was limited on time today. The install took about 30 minutes start to finish.

Had to trim the stud off for the plate to fit

A real anchor, JSYGK





And 1 last pic before it hits the road. I pulled the Z5 off, 2 stereo batteries out, speakers off the tower, anchor out, about 10 life vests out, and anything else that didn't need to be in there.

John,

I had been meaning to ask about that jack. (BTW - I have one of those anchors too ...
it appears mine is a little bigger than yours tho ;o) )

Sounds like you think the jack was worth it? I really don't like the one I have on
the trailer.

Seem pretty sturdy/stable? Crank good?

[jonyb]

I haven't cranked it much, it seems about the same. It is sturdier though. The jack seems to be pretty strong.
