Whats the scoop on these? The videos I`ve seen online they seem to move so slow. Reliability? I don`t really want to spend anymore than $150 on one...
Any input is appreciated ...

You won't get much for $150.

Had this one on my car trailer, worked pretty good.

had the atwood 3500 put one on my 382 trailer for 5 years with no issues .bought the second 1 for my top gun once again no issues .they are a little slow but it beats cranking .as said wire it into your trailer plug most trucks have the wire already run

I have that 1 on my trailer works great , huge tongue weight I had to put 5 bolts in it and it still tweaked the plate .

While it will work off the existing factory wire in a seven way socket, the factory wires tend to be too light guage to safely operate the tongue jack. Most jacks require 10 guage wire. Better to wire direct to battery or mount separate battery on trailer.

nope no problem on fact wireing .i think the center post on a 7 wire is 10 gauge from the fact .thats its intended use

I have an idea... Put those big muscles to work, be a man and jack the boat up old style

LOL but you`re right.

I had a friend who modified a top wind jack and just used a 1/2 inch rechageable drill in place of the crank. Worked slick, much faster and no wireing. This was on a old heavy 32 foot Stinger.
