You're right, I went to my boat today and realized I didn't actually use the existing holes, but bolted it up the new jack with the supplied "U" brackets slightly forward of the original mounting holes. Fits fine though. Sorry for steering you wrong.
It’s all good I ended up just going to northern tool and picking up a 1500lb jack that’s bolts up to it using existing holes using oem parts. It works great. Just had to modify whole to be slightly larger. $65
Here is the one @HangOutdoors has. This is how I installed it. I highly recommend this.
I put it on the opposite side so that the winch handle doesn't interfere.
Installed a new trailer jack, much beefier than the last one. Did not have to remove the winch stand to takeoff the old one, it’s a little tricky but you can fit a wrench in there to loosen the bolts until they come out.

And not 2 weeks later I bent this new jack, jacking it up to change a flat near the axel, didn’t realize all the torque it would put on the front jack. I had blocks on the tires so thought there was no reason to attach it to the vehicle. This is after I changed the flat.
