Default Cobra Trailer Screw Jack

I have a screw jack on my 2012 cobra trailer that becomes very difficult

operate after every 2 or 3 uses in order to jack up my ASW-27B for

become dirty quickly. Anyone have any idea about how to avoid the
necessity for frequent cleaning. I have used hydraulic jacks in the past
but I got tired of them leaking and collapsing.

Thanks,

Woah there! Back up a bit and tell me about Cobra hydraulic jack failures -
I've just decided I just upgrade from the screw to the hydraulic, I operate
off grass.
Is there a history of problems with the Cobra hydraulic system? What has
been the experience of other Cobra users?
Anyone care to venture an opinion?
