Replacement Jack Solution for Shelby 5856A that Uses Same Mount

Published 09/09/2022

Question:

I have a boat trailer with a damaged weld on Shelby 5856A jack. Shelby is no longer in business. Is there a replacement jack that will mount onto the welded on bracket or will I have to buy a bolt on, or buy another weld-on and have the old bracket removed and replaced with the new?

I recommend replacing it with the Fulton Round, Snap-Ring Swivel Marine Jack - Weld On - Sidewind - 10" Lift - 1,200 lbs # FTJ120W0301 which will fit your existing jack mount so it will be an exact replacement, and you will actually have a little stronger of a jack as this jack has a 1200lb lift capacity compared to your Shelby jack that had a 1000lb capacity. What that means is that it will be a little easier to jack up and down.
