As swsports said, F W I T I W, otherwise if there is a harbor
freight outlet in your town check them out.

To find a store near you. I know they are in Az, and Cal.
They have weld on, and bolt on ones. Yep the welded on ones make
me feel more secure too. The bolt on for my 18ft bassboat broke.

Good idea. Trust your boat & trailer to a Harbor Freight jack,
made from badly recycled Chinese pig iron.
They can not last any shorter than the expensive ones from West
Marine. They seem to make it about 2 years if you boat in salt
water.- Hide quoted text -

Six years for me on the Ranger and I boat in salt water all
the time.
Check and see if there's a roll pin holding the top gear. you may have
sheared it. You'll probably have to remove the grease to see where it's
driven thru. If it is sheared drive it out and go to your local Ace
hardware and get a new one. Jim
