Question:

Do you have a trailer jack that the wheel rotates with either ball bearings or something else? I have a small trailer for my BW 150 Montauk.

Hi Scot!

All the jacks we carry use a bushing for the wheel to rotate on. I am not aware of a jack that uses a bearing for this function, though there could be an option out there.

The closest we have to something like that is the Ark Xtreme Off-Road Tube Mount Jack w/ Dual Wheel - Sidewind - 10" Lift - 1,650 lbs - Silver # ARK57FR, which I will admit isn't actually that similar. It uses sealed bearings for the actual wheels, not the swivel part of it.

Most jacks, like the etrailer Sidewind Aluminum Trailer Jack w/ Wheel - Swivel Bolt - 12" Lift - 1,500 lbs # e95YV, uses bushings for the swivel and the wheels. It's kind of the standard way manufacturers do it.

And cool boat! We had a Boston Whaler growing up (not sure which model) that we took out a few times before my dad sold it. Where do you typically take it out?
