Sierra Deluxe 1500 lb Swivel Trailer Jack
Sierra Deluxe 1500 lb Swivel Trailer Jack — Product description
The Sierra Marine Deluxe swivel trailer jack carries a 1,500 pound lift capacity and fits tongues up to 3 by 5 inches. It swivels up flat for towing, rolls on a 6-inch wheel, and bolts on with the included hardware. A dependable tongue jack for boat, snowmobile, and recreational trailers.
The Sierra Marine Deluxe swivel trailer jack is the kind of workhorse part you don't think about until you need it, and then you're glad you bought a good one. It carries a 1,500 pound lift capacity and fits trailer tongues up to 3 by 5 inches, which covers the vast majority of single-axle boat, snowmobile, and utility trailers on the road. If you launch a boat, haul a sled in the winter, or move a small sports craft around, this is the jack that takes the strain off your back at the ramp and in the driveway. All Sierra gear is built to stand up in the marine environment, and this jack is cut from the same cloth.
What makes a swivel jack worth the money is the pivot. Once you're hitched to the ball and the tongue weight is on the hitch, the whole jack swings up to horizontal and tucks in tight against the frame. So you're not dragging a fixed leg over every driveway apron and speed bump between home and the water. That pivot also keeps the wheel and post off the ground, where they'd otherwise catch road debris and take a beating. Drop it back down when you get there, crank the tongue up off the ball, and you're set. It's a small thing that saves a bent jack post over the life of the trailer.
The 6 inch wheel is sized to roll the tongue around a paved staging area or your driveway without hunting for a dolly. You get 10 inches of vertical travel, which is enough to clear most hitch balls and level a tongue on uneven ground. One thing worth knowing from experience: a 6 inch wheel can dig in on a soft or sandy launch ramp, so if your ramp gets loose, keep a short board in the truck to spread the load under the wheel. On pavement and hard-packed gravel it rolls just fine.
Sierra finished this one in a textured zinc plating over a black coat, which is there to fight the rust that trailer hardware lives with. Between the launch ramp, road salt, and the spray coming off the boat, a jack has a hard life. The plated finish buys you time, and a little maintenance buys you a lot more. There's a single grease port on the housing. Hit it with marine grease at the start of the season, and again mid-summer if you launch in salt water, and the internal screw keeps cranking smooth instead of binding up on you at the worst possible moment.
Installation is a straightforward bolt-on job, and the mounting hardware comes in the box. You'll want a flat spot on the tongue that clears the coupler and any surge actuator or safety chains, then bolt it through and snug it down. We'd suggest thread locker or lock nuts on the mounting bolts, since a trailer sees a lot of vibration and you don't want that hardware backing out on the highway. Give it a test crank through the full travel before you load the boat, just to confirm everything moves freely.
So who's this for? Anybody running a boat, personal watercraft, snowmobile, or general recreational trailer that needs a dependable tongue jack in the 1,500 pound class. It's not built for a heavy tandem-axle cruiser trailer loaded to the gills, so match the capacity honestly to your rig's tongue weight. For the typical fishing boat, ski boat, or utility hauler, it's exactly the right tool. And because it swivels flat, it stores clean against the trailer frame in the off-season instead of sticking out where it can get knocked.

Frequently asked questions
What size trailer tongue does this jack fit?
It mounts to trailer tongues up to 3 by 5 inches, which covers most single-axle boat, snowmobile, and recreational trailers. Measure your tongue before ordering to confirm the flat mounting surface clears the coupler and chains.
How much weight can this jack lift?
The rated lift capacity is 1,500 pounds. That's the jack's lift rating, not your total trailer weight. Match it to your tongue weight, not the loaded boat weight, and stay within the rating for a long service life.
Does it come with mounting hardware?
Yes. The mounting hardware is included in the box for the bolt-on install. We'd still suggest adding thread locker or lock nuts so the bolts don't work loose from road vibration.
How much lift travel does it have?
You get 10 inches of vertical travel. That's enough to clear most hitch balls and level the tongue on uneven ground at the ramp or in the driveway.
What size is the wheel?
It rides on a 6 inch wheel, sized for rolling the tongue around pavement or hard-packed gravel. On a soft or sandy ramp a 6 inch wheel can sink, so keep a board handy to spread the load if your launch gets loose.
Does the jack swivel up for towing?
It does. Once the tongue weight is on the hitch ball, the jack pivots up to horizontal and tucks against the frame, so it's not dragging over driveways and speed bumps while you tow.
Will the finish hold up in salt water?
It's finished in textured zinc plating over black to resist corrosion. Trailer hardware still lives a hard life around salt, so rinse it after saltwater launches and keep the grease port topped up to get the most out of it.
How do I maintain it?
There's a single grease port on the housing. Pump in marine grease at the start of the season and again mid-summer if you launch in salt water. That keeps the internal screw turning smoothly and stops it from binding.
Can I use it on a snowmobile or utility trailer?
Yes. It's designed for boat, sports craft, snowmobile, and other recreational trailers within the 1,500 pound lift class and the 3 by 5 inch tongue size.
