On boats that belong to people who sail in Mexico, with their shallow ramps, I've seen trailers with a spindle welded on one side of the tongue, complete with bearings and wheel. Not only do they have a spare set of parts but when they cable the trailer down the ramp (or beach) the wheel keeps it going dead straight. They'll work in conjunction with a jack stand and you kind of need it, otherwise they'll corner like a '48 Plymouth I used to have. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: James Poulakis Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2017 8:15 PM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: M_Boats: Trailer Jacks So I’m coming to realize that trailer jacks live short, miserable lives. Fulton’s lower end models have the lifespan of a fruit fly but my Fulton F2 has made it about eight years. I’m thinking about another F2 but was wondering if there is a better optopm out there. Any suggestions? - Jim M-17 “Spirt"
