    Need new jack - can't find replacement

    Guys, I replaced the handle this weekend, then when using it for the first time on Saturday one of the gears broke. Now I want to just replace it, but I can't find a replacement jack with this plate. Take a look at the pic. The mounting plate is rectangular, where all the new ones are square. This mounting plate bolts directly to a plate on my Dorsey trailer - mounting holes measure 5.5 in x 3 in.

    Any suggestions?

    X2. MIne just crapped out 2 weekends ago and I am having a hard time to match bolt pattern. Try a dealer who deals with "Land & Sea"

      You should be able to remove the broken jack from the mounting plate, and just reattach the new jack. If not call Fulton and give them the model number of the jack and your trailer (looks like a Dorsey), they can probably match up the proper setup for you.

        I sent the pic to Fulton, and they are investigating right now for me. Should hear back from them today hopefully.

            Seems like this one would work. The backing plate is different for sure but the mounting holes look like they would be the same.

              Thanks for the links guys, but all of those have the smaller backing plate. I spoke with Fulton today, and they confirmed that they no longer make that backing plate.

              If anyone has an F2 Fulton jack, can you help me with this? It looks like my jack is mounted to the backing plate via a single large bolt. Is the F2 mounted to the swivel backing plate the same way? I will mount my plate to a new jack if possible.

                Kimber what did you find out on your jack. From the pic it looks like the same jack I have that needs to be replaced. Mine is off a '99 Dorsey trailer.

                  I have since sold that trailer to another TO member - riffraff. Send him a PM if you need pics to figure out what I did. I ended up buying a jack from Bass Pro that was much taller (allows me elevate the front to drain water from the hull). I completely removed the plate and jack from the trailer. Then removed the plate from the new jack and drilled holes in it to match the rectangular pattern on the trailer. I only had to drill two holes, as two matched up. I used a drill press. Hope this helps.
