The matte black powder coat finish protects this marine jack from rust and corrosion while also giving it a tough look. A wedge holds the soft-touch handle in place while traveling without looking haphazard. Caster swivels 360 degrees.

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 your hands are wet. Not only that, it's just really nice and comfortable to use. Other hard, grooved, plastic handles can't even begin to compare.
Most rust-resistant coatings are smooth. But this creates one big drawback: smooth finishes are easy to scratch, which exposes the bare metal beneath and allows rust and corrosion to take hold. So, the bright, shiny zinc plating on most trailer jacks might might not last for long.
Fulton solves this issue by applying a rough powder coat finish, so it has a texture harder to scuff and scratch. Basically, by giving the jack a tough, crinkled texture (that feels like a piece of medium grade sandpaper), this finish helps keep the jack from aging too quickly.
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.
