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 model number is F2232 (Revision C-16437, published 12/11).
The carrier supports two bolt patterns: 4-hole tire rims with a 4.00 inch bolt circle (use the two center square holes), and 5-hole tire rims with a 4.50 inch bolt circle (use the top right and bottom holes).
Yes, front mounting is possible, but it requires careful clearance verification. You must check that the spare tire has adequate clearance from the vehicle bumper, especially when the vehicle is at a sharp turning radius. Front mounting also adds additional tongue weight to the trailer. If the bumper contacts the tire during turning, the carrier can be overstressed or welds can fatigue and fail later.
When mounting on a side channel, you must ensure adequate ground clearance between the tire and the road. You must allow extra clearance for bad roads, curbs, and road gullies to prevent the tire from striking the ground during normal and extreme driving conditions.
Yes. The trailer frame must be strong enough to withstand the stresses caused by high-speed traveling and the weight of the tire. There should be no vibration of the spare tire or frame member. Contact the trailer manufacturer or dealer for specific mounting specifications for your trailer.
The carrier includes: 4 × 3/8 inch bolts (Item 4), 4 × lockwashers (Item 2), 4 × locknuts (Item 1), carriage bolts (Item 6), pushnuts (Item 7), washers (Item 8), lockwashers (Item 9), and locknuts (Item 10). Only the supplied hardware must be used for mounting.
No. A safety locking cable or chain is not supplied with the carrier. You must obtain one separately and use it to secure the spare tire to the trailer to prevent run-away tires.
The manual does not specify which tools are required for installation. Contact Cequent Performance Products at 1-800-632-3290 or www.cequentgroup.com for tool recommendations.
The manual does not address battery disconnection. This product is mechanical and does not involve electrical connections, so battery disconnection is likely not required, but contact Cequent Performance Products at 1-800-632-3290 to confirm.
The manual does not specify whether professional installation is required. Contact Cequent Performance Products at 1-800-632-3290 or www.cequentgroup.com for guidance on whether a professional installer is recommended.
1. Install the carrier over the trailer channel with the carrier facing away from the trailer. 2. Install 4 × 3/8 inch bolts through the carrier and over and under the trailer channel. 3. Slide a lockwasher and locknut onto each bolt and torque to 20 ft. lbs. 4. Install carriage bolts through the carrier and slide a pushnut onto each bolt. 5. Install the tire. 6. Slide a washer and lockwasher over each bolt. 7. Install and torque the locknut to 45 ft. lbs.
The carrier (Item 5) must face away from the trailer when installed over the trailer channel.
Use the two center square holes on a 4-hole tire rim (4.00 inch bolt circle).
Use the top right and bottom holes on a 5-hole tire rim (4.50 inch bolt circle).
The 4 × 3/8 inch bolts that mount the carrier to the trailer channel must be torqued to 20 ft. lbs.
The carriage bolts that mount the tire to the carrier must be torqued to 45 ft. lbs.
Four 3/8 inch bolts are used to mount the carrier to the trailer channel.
The maximum rated capacity is stamped or marked on the product itself or on decals attached to it. Refer to these markings on your specific carrier. If you cannot find the capacity marking or are uncertain, contact Cequent Performance Products at 1-800-632-3290 or www.cequentgroup.com.
The spare tire must be secured to the trailer using a safety locking cable or chain (not supplied with the carrier). This is essential to prevent run-away tires.
Never position any part of your body under the carrier or the load being supported. Do not allow children to play on or around the carrier or the load. Always inspect the carrier, mounting location, and hardware before each use. Never exceed the maximum rated capacity. Always replace bent, broken, or worn parts before using the product.
Always inspect the spare tire carrier, the mounting location, and all hardware prior to each use. Look for bent, broken, or worn parts and replace them before using the product.
The manual does not provide specific maintenance instructions beyond regular inspection. Always inspect the carrier, mounting location, and hardware before each use. Replace any bent, broken, or worn parts immediately. Use only Cequent Performance Products parts or parts of equal quality for any repairs or replacements.
The manual does not specify retorque intervals. Contact Cequent Performance Products at 1-800-632-3290 for guidance on whether bolts should be retorqued after initial installation or at regular intervals.
Yes. The F2232 supports both 4-hole rims (4.00 inch bolt circle, use center square holes) and 5-hole rims (4.50 inch bolt circle, use top right and bottom holes).
No. You must purchase a safety locking cable or chain separately to secure the spare tire and prevent run-away tires.
Carrier mounting bolts: 20 ft. lbs. Tire mounting bolts: 45 ft. lbs.
Yes, but you must verify clearance between the spare tire and vehicle bumper at sharp turning radius. Front mounting also adds tongue weight to the trailer.
Refer to the stamped markings or decals on your specific carrier. If uncertain, contact Cequent Performance Products at 1-800-632-3290.
The carrier includes 4 × 3/8 inch bolts, lockwashers, locknuts, carriage bolts, pushnuts, washers, and additional lockwashers. Only supplied hardware must be used for mounting.
