Trailer Jack question

[captsquid17]

Hey all,
Just got a new to me 2001 2510. Beautiful boat and one hell of an upgrade from an 1801. It came with a 2001 Load rite aluminum trailer twin axel original to the boat from the dealer. The jack on the togue is just a plate and i'm looking to get the jack with the wheels. Anyone know how much jack rating I need? I know the trailer is rated for 8000lbs. Thanks for the help!

Why? You will never budge it......Not by hand anyway.

Best thing you can have is a backup camera.

If tongue weight is 10-15%, 800-1200 lbs is what you should be supporting. Get a 2000lb to ease your mind. Can you just replace the plate with a wheel sold separately?

We can move the trailer around when the boats not on it. Boat is kept in the water during the season. Also just needs a new jack.

This is what I was looking for. I wasn't sure on the ratio for the tongue weight. Always better to have it and not need it than not have it and need it.

Determine the tongue weight. Then how high you will raise up during storage for better drainage to the aft. If you move it around a lot then buy dual wheel units. Buy a brand name unit and look how long the handle is and how many turns to lift and lower it.
Make sure it securely locks in towing mode and locks in use mode. Buy one made for getting wet and rusting.
