Abstract: A stowable powered jack for steering a boat trailer includes an electric motor turning a drive shaft running longitudinally through a support tube which is mounted to a trailer frame. The drive shaft powers a transmission which sits between a pair of wheels driven by a transverse axle. Controls for the motor provide at least forward and reverse motion for wheels. The transmission is sealed within a housing that is swivels in relation to the fixed support tube. An extendable handle facilitates steering.
