My F2 is still going strong. I replaced the bevel gears a couple years ago. They are steel and it cost me a little over twenty bucks for the kit as I recall.
I only use my trailer a few times a year since I keep the boat moored quite a bit, so my reviews might not be the most telling. _________________ TyBoo Mike

I have one of those valets on my trailer and it works real well and is well built. But be warned, it requires a little akward bending down a bit to turn the crank if you are tall. |

My experience with the ones which articulate and have wheels is that they just don't hold up.
I use a flat lift trailer tongue jack which does not articulate, but has the flat plate on the bottom, and pin to hold the foot in place. The Reese HD50000101 is similar. _________________ Bob Austin

Bob, Thanks, I looked at those and since I do not push my trailer around by hand, considered it. Funny thing thought, is that the bottom, wheels and swivel work fine, it is the top, bevel gears that jam up.

On New Moon's trailer I had a jack with the flat plate bottom, as did Dr Bob. Much sturdier than the swiveling wheeled types. Worked for 15 years on my ~12,000 lb boat/trailer. Every fall I would run some fresh water through the innards and add some new grease to the bevel gears. Here's one like mine:

F2 still going. It's gone up and down about a million times and that plastic handle still doesn't seem to mind. |
