Recommended Marine Jack to Fit 3-1/2 Inch x 5-1/2 Inch Mounting Plate

Question

Question:

Hi, I saw a quote from your site on my issue but cannot find the data I need. I need a bolt-on/bolt through marine trailer jack that will bolt directly to the trailer that has an existing mount plate with the bolt pattern 3-1/2 x 5-1/2 . I do not want to use a jack that uses the big U-bolts please. Thank you!

For a marine jack with the mounting dimensions you need, I recommend the Fulton Blot-Thru Swivel Marine Jack with Caster # FXP10. This jack has the 3-1/2 inch x 5-1/2 inch mounting bolt pattern to fit to the existing mounting plate on your trailer. I have attached a photo showing these dimensions for you.

This jack was designed to bolt around the trailer frame. However, you can certainly use different hardware to bolt to jack to your existing mounting plate.
