Not yet, but look what followed me home

My local West Marine apparently likes Cobalts, neato! Their new price match policy is great too, this jack was priced at $114 and they dropped it to $71.99 to match easternmarine.com. Nevermind that Eastern was going to charge me $42 for shipping

Man you are fast, T550. You and I would work well together in that respect. Just like to git r' done.

...(and for a second I thought those deep well sockets were shell casings)

Drop leg jacks are great.

No reason to dally around when a decision has been made! Sounds like you understand

And on that note, the jack is installed. Although....it was missing all the hardware. The mounting hardware was no biggie, I reused the stuff from the old jack. But the handle is a bigger problem. I'll call West Marine tomorrow, hopefully they will be able send me a replacement handle.

Yep, I think I'm gonna like it. Seems much nicer than the swivel jack.

What’s up with the handle? Does it conflict with the winch handle?

A7 it's this part circled in red. Jack can still be wound up and down without it, but it's a little more difficult

I don't think i've seen a drop leg trailer jack for a trailer other than on a 5th wheel/gooseneck trailer. That's pretty cool.

I called West Marine this morning and the guy was going to contact Fulton to see if they could send me a handle. If not, he said I'll have to return it to the store.

In the meantime, $0.94 worth of hardware at Home Depot and the handle from my old jack...it'll work for now. Not sure a trip back to West Marine is worth it. Hopefully Fulton will ship me a replacement, but if not this is fine.
