Fulton has produced marine and utility trailer hardware for more than a century, and its jacks, winches and couplers are a standard for light and medium-duty trailering. The XLT and F2 series cover swivel and fixed jacks, hand and powered winches from 1,500 to 3,200 pounds, and couplers built to keep working in wet, salty conditions.
With more than a hundred years of production behind it, Fulton has become the reference point for light and medium-duty trailer hardware, particularly on the marine side. That environment is the toughest test a trailer component faces. A boat trailer is reversed into fresh or salt water on every launch and left to sit wet, which finds every weakness in plating, sealing and material choice. Fulton's stated position is that the brand performs best when the weather is at its worst, and its product engineering reflects that. It sits within the Horizon Global towing group alongside Reese, Draw-Tite, Bulldog, Tekonsha and Wesbar.
Marine and utility jacks anchor the line. The XLT Series marine jack uses a bolt-through swivel mount built from three-dimensionally formed heavy-gauge steel stampings with a proprietary bushing material, a combination chosen to minimise deflection under tongue load while keeping the swivel action working after years of exposure. The F2 Series takes corrosion resistance further as the industry's only extruded aluminium marine jack with an anodised finish, which removes the rust problem at its source rather than coating over it. The wider trailer jack range covers topwind, sidewind and drop-leg configurations.
Trailer winches pull boats onto bunks and rollers. XLT Series winches use efficient gear ratios, full-length drum bearings, oil-impregnated shaft bushings and a Comfort Grip handle that makes the last few turns under load bearable, in 1,500 and 1,800 pound capacities. F2 Series winches use an enclosed frame for a cleaner look and added protection, in 1,600, 2,000 and 3,200 pound models, including two-speed options that trade line speed for cranking effort.
Couplers complete the range, including A-frame couplers matched to common tongue sizes and load ratings, serving boat owners, utility trailer users and trailer manufacturers.

The 44305R is a Class IV coupler with a 10,000 pound weight rating. A higher capacity 44314R model with a 14,000 pound rating is also available.
The 44305R coupler can only be used with 50 degree trailer tongues. It is not compatible with other tongue angles.
You must use a 2 5/16 inch diameter ball rated for the minimum coupler weight rating. Using any other ball size creates an extremely dangerous condition and can result in separation of the coupler and ball, or ball failure.
Yes. All welding must be performed by an AWS (American Welding Society) certified welder. This is a mandatory requirement and cannot be performed by non-certified individuals.
A minimum coupler/tongue overlap of 6.5 inches is required. The maximum overlap is 7.5 inches.
A minimum 3/16 inch fillet weld is required. Welds must be applied on both sides and the top of the coupler as shown in Figures A and B of the manual.
Yes, but you must remove all excess paint or primer buildup from the ball pocket and latching mechanism after painting. Ensure coupler operation has not been impaired in any way before use.
Maintain a film of automotive grease in the ball pocket, ball clamp, and where the shaft enters the housing. Maintain a film of SAE 30 WT motor oil on pivot points and spring ends. Keep the ball pocket and mechanism clean to prevent dirt and paint from hindering operation. When parking or storing the trailer, keep the coupler off the ground to prevent dirt and foreign material buildup in the ball pocket.
Before towing, ensure: (1) the hitch ball is fully seated in the coupler ball pocket, (2) the locking lever is rotated back to the closed position, (3) the latch is engaged, (4) the vehicle, hitch, hitch ball and coupler show no signs of wear or damage, (5) the coupler handle opens and closes freely, (6) all trailer lighting is hooked up and working correctly, and (7) you do not exceed the lesser of the coupler, hitch, vehicle, ball or trailer weight ratings.
If the handle does not close easily, the trailer and tow vehicle may be misaligned. Re-align them as necessary. Do not force the handle down. After re-alignment, verify that the latch is engaged by lifting up on the back of the locking lever.
Check that the latch is engaged by lifting up on the back of the locking lever with your finger. Also verify that the hitch ball is fully seated and the ball clamp is positioned below the ball. If the ball is not seated with the lever in the closed position, do not tow and repeat the latching steps.
Yes. An optional pin or lock can be placed in the hole shown in Figure 5. A lock can be used in place of the pin as a theft deterrent.
Before latching or unlatching the coupler, make sure the vehicle, trailer and load will not shift, roll, or move. Be aware that the load may have shifted during transit, resulting in a negative tongue load. Use caution when unlatching, as the tongue may rise unexpectedly. Never position any part of your body under any portion of the coupler or the load being supported.
The 44305R Ball Clamp Repair Kit (part number 6408001) includes: (1) Coupler Weldment (02251037), (2) Spring - Compression (02410012), (3) Link Pin (02380002), (4) Locking Lever Assembly (02702008), (5) Ball Clamp (02270057), and (6) Groove Pin (02700018).
The 44305R coupler is covered by a limited three-year warranty from the date of retail purchase. The warranty covers defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service, excluding ordinary wear and tear. The warranty does not cover damage from abuse, neglect, misuse, accidents, misapplication, overloading, improper installation, improper maintenance, or unauthorized alterations.
Replacement parts are available through Fulton Performance Products' Customer Service Department at 715-693-1700 or 800-604-9466. When ordering, specify the product model number (44305R), the name of the parts needed, and the part number. Always replace broken, worn or bent parts before using the coupler. Use only Fulton Performance Products parts or parts of equal quality for repair.
The 44305R is a Class IV, 10,000 pound coupler designed for 50 degree trailer tongues only. Verify your trailer has a 50 degree tongue and does not exceed the 10,000 pound weight rating before purchasing.
The 44305R requires a 2 5/16 inch diameter hitch ball rated for the minimum coupler weight rating. No other ball size is compatible.
Yes. All welding must be performed by an AWS (American Welding Society) certified welder. This is a mandatory requirement.
A minimum 3/16 inch fillet weld is required on both sides and the top of the coupler, with a minimum 6.5 inch coupler/tongue overlap.
Before towing, verify the hitch ball is fully seated in the ball pocket, the locking lever is closed, the latch is engaged, and all trailer lighting works. Do not tow if the ball is not fully seated, the handle is open, or the latch is not engaged.
Maintain a film of automotive grease in the ball pocket and ball clamp, and SAE 30 WT motor oil on pivot points and spring ends. Keep the coupler clean and off the ground when parked to prevent dirt buildup.
If the handle does not close easily, the trailer and tow vehicle may be misaligned. Re-align the vehicle and trailer as necessary. Do not force the handle down. After re-alignment, verify the latch is engaged by lifting up on the back of the locking lever. If the ball is not fully seated with the lever in the closed position, do not tow and repeat the latching steps.
Verify the latch is engaged by lifting up on the back of the locking lever with your finger. Also check that the hitch ball is fully seated and the ball clamp is positioned below the ball. If the ball is not fully seated with the lever in the closed position, do not tow. Repeat the latching steps: open the lever, lower the coupler over the ball until fully seated, close the lever, and verify engagement.
If coupler operation has been impaired in any way after painting or priming, do not use the coupler. Remove all excess paint or primer buildup from the ball pocket and latching mechanism. Verify that the coupler operates freely before use. If operation cannot be restored, contact Fulton Performance Products at 715-693-1700 for repair or replacement options.
