For an electric jack that will work great with your boat trailer, I highly recommend the Fulton XLT Powered Drive Trailer Jack # F141401. This is an electric, side-mount jack that will provide you with 14 inches of travel and a lift capacity of 2,500 pounds. This high capacity will allow the jack to work well below its limits on your trailer, which will lead to a longer lifespan. The jack also features a self-healing Sharkskin finish with a 1,200-hour salt spray rating that makes it ideal for boat trailers. This will be a simple bolt-on installation to the side of your trailer with its built-in mounting bracket and included hardware.

I have attached a short video demonstration on this jack that you can also check out.
