To replace the Shelby trailer jack on your boat trailer, I recommend looking at the Fulton Bolt-Thru Swivel Marine Jack # FXP15L. This is a great sidewind jack that will have the same 1,500 pound capacity as the Shelby 5874A8 you are replacing but with a greater lift of 12 inches. It has a Z-Max 600 zinc finish that will provide superior corrosion resistance and a 600-hour salt spray rating.

This jack has a bracket height of 12-3/4 inches when retracted and 24-3/4 inches when extended. I have attached a video demonstration on this product so you can see exactly how everything works and compares to your existing unit.
