Folds up nice and now I can always find the wheel.

1. Bungee cord as a safety and also secure that handle from the dropped position

2 loctite (tm) the screw holding the black plastic handle so you don't have to go looking for it later.

Nice work, Bravo Zulu

I did the same jack recently. Now I just need to figure out how to remove the old one.

This is what I'm thinking of getting. I move the boat around a bunch and every time I cut the yard so I don't spit rocks at the mac.

$13 on sale right now at Harbor Freight. It won't hold up like an industrial unit, but you don't need it to. I have one that I've used for loads of projects (glute-ham raise machine fab, push sled fab, loads of trailer rework, etc.). It's getting tired, but for what I paid for it, I don't care. An industrial unit would outlive me and my kids at the rate we use it, but an industrial unit would cost ten times as much or more.

I did the same mod this summer when I could not get the factory jack to raise.

Spent about 45 minutes cutting and grinding the old one off (used an angle grinder and cold chisel primarily), sprayed some paint on and continued on our trip. Stopped at West Marine to buy a new one and installed it at the ramp.

Should have brought it up to NY,I would have popped open the oxy-acetylene torch....
