What's up everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today, I'm gonna be checking out the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier. So this is gonna mount on your boat trailer and it gives it a little bit of a rise, so the tire is not on the ground but it gives it a nice place to stay, that way it's here if you ever need to use it. Let's check it out. It's gonna fit four, five and six sized lug wheels, so that's gonna be that there. And then it's gonna fit a diameter of up to 16.5 inches, that's because the slider holes here or where carriage bolts are can move in or out just a little bit to accommodate all those different sizes.
It's also gonna fit on trailers up to three inches wide and five inches tall. One of the nice things about this carrier is it's gonna have 4 3/4 inches of rise, so it comes up and off the trailer and then seven inches of offset, so not only does it lift it up but it makes it go away from the trailer, that way if you are tight of space, the tires aren't rubbing up on anything. Also has a weight capacity of 45 pounds and then the whole construction of is gonna be a steel construction with a zinc plane. So you can leave it out on your trailer attached and don't worry about the elements bothering it. Also, it's a very easy installation.
You just bolt it on, it comes with all the hardware you need, check out how we did it. First thing we wanna do for the installation is get the hardware set up. So we have our plate that's gonna go on the other side of our trailer frame. Make sure you use the offset hole, that's gonna be this one at the top that's kinda separated from the other ones there. We line it up with a plate here and that's how we're gonna do that.
Then we'll take our U bolt, is included, we'll run through the top two holes, so that's what this plate is gonna hang on. So we're gonna go through that offset hole I was talking about and then we can add our hardware. So we've got a lock washer and a nut. So put that lock washer on and then we'll add our nut. Now we can bring that out.
Do this same thing on the other one. And then we can set it on the trailer. Now, we're gonna set this down here on the frame and see how it lines up, bring those plates in, I'm just gonna run them hand tight. So it kinda holds itself up and I'll come back with the other U bolt and make that attachment at the bottom. And I can take the U bolt, let's see we go through here at the bottom, it's a little far away from the frame, I think we can go one up and line up those holes. There we go. It's through both ends and we'll come back with our lock washer and nut on the backside. I'm gonna come back here with our impact and tighten it down. Gonna try and do it evenly, that way it doesn't get out away. Now with the setup, we're gonna go ahead and run our carriage bolt through here. Then we'll put our push nut on. Then turn that, as it goes all the way down and make sure the flat side goes against the flat side of our bracket here and try and make sure that it's on there straight. So you don't want it kind of offset or anything that could cause issues when you go to add the tire but ours looks like it's flat against there. This one looks flat on this side, we're ready for the tire. Just gonna line up the holes in the center, those push nuts are gonna prevent the carriage bolts from coming back out of the backside when you push in the tire. Try and get both of them in there, there we go. So I'm gonna hold it up with one hand and then add the hardware with the other. So I'ma grab the one side first, gonna do a washer, let me pull this in a little bit more. I get the lock washer on there and the nut. With that on there helping me out, get a couple turns on that one, see that thread come through. That way I know it's not popping off. I don't have to hold the tire up there anymore and grab the other hardware and do the same thing for this one. And come back with the impact, tighten it down. There you go, it's nice and tight, not going anywhere. Really is that easy to get it installed, I like it. It's a nice way to keep your tire out of the boat and out of the way, you don't have to store it in your vehicle or in the boat. It's got a nice place to stay right here on the trailer, that way it's gonna be here when you need to use it. Well, I think that does it, thanks for hanging out. I hope this helps..
