Can A Swivel Jack Be Used On the Side Of An A-Frame Boat Trailer  

Question:

I need to replace an a frame type jack that has a non-standard hole pattern. I want to replace it with a side mount jack but the tongue is too short to mount it there. Any problems mounting it on one of the frame pieces as close to the tongue as possible

Expert Reply:

The ideal placement of a tongue jack on an a-frame trailer is indeed as close to the trailer coupler as possible. That said, there are others with the very same issue you have and they use a swivel mount jack on the a-frame portion just a bit further away from the tongue without issue. Personally, I would use the Fulton Fixed-Mount Marine Jack part # TJ12220301 on the straight portion of the tongue as it appears you have enough room for this but a swivel mount jack like the Fulton Round, Snap-Ring Swivel Marine Jack part # FTJ12000101 would work just fine on the side, a-frame portion of the trailer as well.
