Replacement Bulldog Jack Recommendation to Fit Trailer with Round Pipe Mount
Updated 10/04/2016 | Published 10/03/2016
Question:
We own a 1998 boat trailer with a Bulldog jack. The base swivel plate is welded to the trailer frame. I need to replace this old jack but cant locate a replacement that would utilize the old welded plate. Any suggestions?

The Bulldog Round, Pipe-Mount Swivel Jack - Sidewind - 15 inch Lift - 7,000 lbs, item # BD198250, has a male pipe on the jack and a female receiver that welds to the trailer. This female receiver has an inside diameter of just over 2-1/2 inches to fit on the 2-1/2 inch male pipe welded to the jack. This jack utilizes a 5/8 inch pin to secure the jack to the trailer.
For a jack with a 2 inch outside diameter male receiver that welds to the trailer frame and has a capacity of 5,000 pounds, we have the Bulldog Round, Pipe-Mount Swivel Jack - Sidewind - 15 inch Lift - 5,000 lbs, item # BD178203. This is the largest capacity jack we have with a 2 inch round mounting pipe. This jack also uses a 5/8 inch pin to secure the jack to the trailer.
You would need to compare the dimensions of the pipe on your trailer to see which would work.
