The premium Sharkskin coating on the outside of this jack is nearly 6 times more corrosion resistant than standard zinc plating. Built-in latch keeps the handle from spinning while you're towing. Mounting bracket and hardware sold separately.

Sharks, one of the ocean's top predatos, have a super-resilient skin that algae and bacteria can't cling to. Fulton was so inspired by this, that they named the coating on this XLT jack after sharks. Only instead of barnacles, Fulton's goal was to keep rust and corrosion from taking hold.
Rust-resistant coatings - like Sharkskin - are graded according to a salt spray rating. Basically, this rating shows signs of corrosion when exposed to pure, continuous salt spray. Sure, the environment this test creates is much harsher than anything you'll ever experience in your journeys, but it provides a testament to how well this jack resists rust and corrosion.
With a 1,200-hour salt spray rating, Sharkskin is 12 times tougher than a standard zinc coating, and 4 times stronger than Dacromet (a coating you'll often find on marine-grade brakes). And that's just on the outside! The internal hardware has Fulton's 600-hour salt-spray-rated Z-Max zinc finish.
All in all, the Fulton XLT is one of the most corrosion-resistant boat trailer jacks you can get, second only to Fulton's rustproof F2 marine jack.
It can be pretty frustrating to have your jack handle hanging down while you tow. Some folks like to use something like a bungee cord to fasten the handle to their trailer frame to keep it secured. But when you have a boat that's as classy as yours, you don't want some jerry-rigged contraption messing up the look of your trailer.
This jack has a simple, convenient, and elegant solution for this annoying problem - a handle latch. Just flip it in place when you're ready to tow, and the handle won't budge.
Rather than grabbing a raw steel J-bolt each time you swing your jack up or down, wouldn't you like something a little easier to grip and use? The folks at Fulton thought you might.
That's why the XLT jack has a T-shaped pull-pin that you can actually get your fingers around. It still lets you swivel the jack up and down, but it just plain feels better to use.
And if you think that sounds nice, wait until you get ahold of the texturized, soft-touch grip on the sidewind handle. Not only is it really comfortable to use, but it's designed to keep you from losing your grip when cranking the jack in the rain or after you've drenched your hand in lake water. Other hard, plastic handles can't even begin to compare.
A trailer jack lifts your trailer high enough at the tongue to allow you to couple it with your vehicle. Usually, your tongue weight is about 10-15% of your gross trailer weight (GTW). For example, a 10,000-lb trailer has a tongue weight of 1,000 lbs to 1,500 lbs. To raise the tongue of a trailer this size, you'd need a jack that can handle a static load of no less than 1,500 lbs. And, yes, it's okay to have a jack with a weight rating that is higher than your trailer's tongue weight. In fact, a jack with a higher capacity should operate more efficiently, allowing you to spend less time cranking and more time fishing.
