Question

Question:

I have a dual axel trailer with a 23 foot Cobalt on it. The wheel on the trailer jack does not swivel well. I was hoping to replace with one that swivels easier. Thoughts?

We have a great option for a boat trailer jack that is going to easily swivel with the Fulton XLT jack. Keeping in mind that all jack wheels can struggle turning if there is too much weight on them, the XLT has a very high-quality caster and wheel and is designed with easy maneuverability in mind.

The jack is designed to fit 3" x 3" or 3" x 4" trailer frames:

- Fulton XLT Bolt-Thru Swivel Trailer Jack - Bolt-On - Sidewind - 10" Lift - 1,500 lbs # F26ZR

I have added some customer reviews below which talk about the quality of the wheel and how it swivels.

For ease of maneuverability, I would go with the wide wheel Fulton F2 Trailer Jack, #F1413040134. The wide wheel will have more ground surface contact and the weight will be better distributed than with a single. This is a good feature on soft…
