About six weeks ago, after a glorious sail, I was happily turning the handle of my Fulton tongue jack (barely one year old - standard equipment on a new Pacific Trailer) and CRUNCH! Removing the plastic cap revealed that the bevel gear had broken neatly in two. So... got new parts... carefully reassembled everything... greased it up... casually took a half turn and... PING! The new bevel gear snapped cleanly in two. Even if I am successful in repairing this Fulton jack, it is not something I care to rely on at a distant launching site. Can anyone suggest a better brand (or are they all pretty much the same?) By the way, - This is the third issue I've had with my Pacific Trailer in one year. My impression is that they are a bit on the fragile side. Jim M-17 "Spirit"
