Need help finding trailer part

[braden]

I took my boat to be welded and they knocked off and then lost the little cap that goes over the top of the crank that raises and lowers the coupler on the trailer (whatever you call that thing). I have been unable to locate a replacement, partly because I do not know what to call it. I went to the hardware store to find a pvc cap, but everything is either too big or too small. Any suggestions?

Try a dust cap for a trailer hub.

Thanks guys. I will definitely check those options out. At least I now know what to call it! Wish I would have posted this question here before I made a bunch of trips back and forth to the hardware store.

Better cover the top to keep the greese clean. You could cut the top out of a coke can a slide it over it to keep dirt out till you get the cover.

Duct tape.

Good ole duct tape. Yeah, I will put some of that on until I can get a new cap for it.

Is that a Shelby jack? I may have a cap here at my shop. I sell them for bulldog, and I believe they fit the Shelby jacks also.

I am not at home, but can check when I get back. I did happen to take a measurement before I left. The external diameter looks to be 1 7/8th inch, internal diameter 1 3/4 inch.
