Replacement Jack for 1996 EZ-Loader Boat Trailer

Updated 05/25/2026 | Published 05/21/2026

Question:

Good morning! Need a product recommendation. I have an 1996 EZ-Loader Dual Axle Trailer EZ 17-20/22. Trailer weighw in about 1,100 and boat at 2,600 guess. Need a new Trailer Jack. The current non-working jack has a 6 diameter wheel, about 8.5 of etension and the tube above is 16 long. Not sure if it will extend more as it is broken,. From the ground to the top of the traier tongue is about 19 and Id need at least three more to clear the ball. The frame is 3 wide and 4 tall. A bolt on jack would be fine. The boat is in a slip, but gets hauled out once a month, so not a lot of use. A recommendation or recommendations would be helpful! Mike

Hey Mike! The etrailer Marine Jack # MJ-1200B would be a great fit for your EZ-Loader trailer. It bolts onto frames up to 4" tall, so it matches your 3" x 4" frame perfectly.

The 11" lift with an extended bracket height of 23-1/2" should give you the height you need to clear the hitch ball. It also has a 1,200 lb capacity, which is plenty for your setup, and the swivel design lets you fold it up out of the way while towing.

What kind of boat are you hauling?

Hi Michael, I have a 2024 Fabform trailer and bought the marine jack Robin H at Etrailer recommened. It works much better than the stock jack(eaiser to crank up and down, and wheel turns better). Steve G.
