Frozen Trailer Jack

I've got the black Ark jack as well. Not sure about @RobbieO 's version, but for @biffdotorg the black Ark's do have grease fittings. I've gotten compliments from boat salesmen on it, and they likely have sold at least 3 more jacks to people who have seen/tested mine.

You likely will need different bolts (longer) if you go with an Ark. Not positive on that, but I can't recall anyone who got one that didn't need bolts with just a smidge more length than what is supplied. I blame @swatski for helping me spend my money on this improvement, but it's one of the better things I've done, and I haven't regretted a thing about buying it.

Yes, longer bolts will be needed. At the time I bought mine, there were no black ones to be found! I also installed mine with tamper-proof nuts. Don't want anyone stealing my Ark !
