    buying a new boat, this is broken on the trailer. what is it?

    I can't tell from the picture but if you say it has a garden hose connection it's to flush the brakes. Does the trailer have drum brakes?

    How to prevent jack from seizing up? Gets submerged every launch

    This is the type of jack I have on my trailer. I pull the pin, remove the jack, toss it in my truck and all is well. The jack doesn't get wet and it can't disappear...

    Lowrance warranty
