Diagram A


TONGUE ASSEMBLYPlace the frame to be assembled on saw horses or stands to assist in the assembly. Remove all items that are banded to the frame. Sort the items in the hardware box by item and the hardware by size.

Locate the tongue for the trailer.

See Diagram A

Place tongue on the stands so it can be prepared for installation into the frame. Locate the two amber side marker lights shipped in the hardware box. Uncoil the wire and insert the plug end into the larger, center hole that is drilled in the side of the tongue. As the wire is inserted into the hole direct the wire so that it will go to the forward end of the tongue. Pull the wire out the front of the tongue. It will be connected to the tongue harness at a later time. Attach the light to the tongue using two (2) No. 10 x 3/4 self-tapping screws provided. Repeat this process on the other light on the other side of the tongue.

Locate the tongue wire harness. Insert the end of the harness with the small plug into the hole located in the top of the tongue. Pull the wire backward through the tongue until the end comes out the rear of the tongue. As the wire harness is inserted note that there are two single bullet wires towards the front plug of the tongue wire harness. Pull these wires forward as the wire harness is inserted into the tongue. Plug the single wires from the side marker lights installed earlier into the two single bullets of the tongue harness.

Push the additional back into the front of the tongue to keep it from damage during use. Place a rubber grommet around the wire har-ness and in the hole in the top of the tongue to protect the wires from damage during use.

Route the harness plug at the rear of the tongue through the hole provided in the side of the tongue. Pull both the plug and the white ground wire out the hole. They will be attached later once the tongue is installed in the frame.

Locate the safety chains. Place a 3/8 flat washer on a 3/8 x 1-1/4 hex bolt. Insert the bolt through the last link in the safety chain and then into the lower hole provided in the front of the tongue. Secure with a 3/8 flange lock nut. Tighten. Repeat on the other chain.

Place the coupler on the top of the tongue. Align the holes in the coupler with the holes in the tongue. Place a 1/2 x 4 hex bolt through the back holes of the coupler and the tongue. Secure with a 1/2 flange lock nut but do not tighten at this point.

Place a 1/2 x 1 hex bolt through the front hole on one side of the coupler and the tongue so that the head of the bolt is to the outside. Place a 1/2 flange lock nut on the bolt inside the tongue. Repeat this process on the other side of the tongue. Once the bolts are installed, tighten all nuts left loose at this time.

Insert the tongue assembly through the front channel of the frame far enough so the rear of the tongue is inserted into the front cross member. Align the cross hole in the front channel and the tongue


Diagram B

and insert a 3/8 x 4 hex bolt. Secure with a 3/8 flange lock nut. Place a second 3/8 x 4 hex bolt down through the hole in the rear of the tongue and the front cross member. Place on a 3/8 flange lock nut. Tighten.

Connect the tongue wire harness into the side frame harness of the trailer by matching plugs. Attach the white ground wire of the tongue harness to the frame using a No. 10 x 3/4 self-tapping screw provided so that a good ground connection is made between

the frame of the trailer and the tow vehicle. Push all extra wires used to make the connection back inside either the side frames of the trailer or else into the tongue. Place a second rubber grommet into the hole where the wires exit the tongue to protect them from damage during normal use.


Keel Roller Installation Remove the keel roller assembly from the hardware box. Posi-tion it on the back side of the front cross member of the frame as shown in Detail C. Attach it to the cross member by placing a 1/2 star washer on a 1/2 x 1-1/4 hex bolt. Align the slot in the keel roller bracket with the hole provided in the cross member. Insert the bolt into the hole and attach to the cross member with a 1/2 lock washer and hex nut. Repeat this process on the second bolt used to attach the keel roller assembly to the cross member.

The keel roller assembly can be left loose until the boat is placed on the trailer for final adjustment.

Winch Post AssemblyThe winch post assembly is pre-assembled and is shipped banded to the frame. See Diagram B. Place the winch post on the tongue in the approximate location. Attach to the tongue using three (3) 3/8 x 4 hex bolts and 3/8 flange lock nuts. It can be left loose until the boat is placed on the trailer for final adjustment.

Place the winch handle on the drive shaft of the winch by mating the flat sides of the drive shaft with the punched hole in the winch handle. Secure the handle to the drive shaft with the 1/2 lock nut provided. Tighten.

Locate the bow eye safety chain in the hardware box. Place a 3/8 x 1 carriage bolt into the square hole located in the small winch bracket as shown in Diagram D. The head of the bolt is to be on the top of the bracket. Place the chain over the bolt just installed on the bottom side of the small winch bracket. Secure to the small winch bracket with a 3/8 flat washer and flange lock nut. Tighten.

Jack:It is recommended that the jack be mounted on the right side of the tongue. This will place it on the opposite side of the winch handle to eliminate the possibility of the two interfering when being oper-ated.

Remove the hardware bag from the jack and sort all items by size.

Lay the mounting plate flat so the area that the jack will be mounted is raised above the outside edges. Locate the cloverleaf shaped washer. Place it on the mounting plate so the center pointed area mates with the indent in the mounting plate. Rotate the cloverleaf shaped washer so that the notches in it match the holes in the mounting plate.

Place the jack assembly on the mounting plate by centering the mounting hole with the cloverleaf plate just placed in position.

Insert two of the 3/8 x 1 carriage bolts in the holes of the swiv-el bracket washer. Place the washer onto the jack assembly so the bolts go through the mounting hole of the jack assembly and through the notches in the cloverleaf shaped washer. Insert the bolts completely down through the mounting plate. Secure in place with 3/8 flange lock washers. Tighten.

Note that the jack mounting plate has only one pair of holes on one side of the plate while the other side has holes punched to accom-modate either 3, 4, or 5 tongue.

Place a 3/8 x 4 hex bolt into the single hole of the mounting plate so the head of the bolt is on the jack side of the plate.

Once inserted, place one of the mounting channels onto the bolt so the legs of the mounting channel are pointing away from the jack. Place on a 3/8 flat washer and hex nut. Thread on only far enough to secure in place.

Repeat the above process on the other single hole of the mounting plate.

Place the jack on the tongue so that the two bolts just installed are on the top side of the tongue with the jack on the right side of the tongue and the mounting channels on the other side of the tongue.

Visually check which of the bottom three holes in the plate will align just under the bottom side of the tongue. Insert the remaining two 3/8 x 4 hex bolts into these holes and then through the mating holes in the mounting channel. Secure with 3/8 flat washers and hex nuts.

Rotate the jack into the up position. Slide the jack forward or back-ward on the tongue to make sure it will not hit the frame of the trailer when in the up position.

Tighten all of the mounting bolts to secure the jack assembly to the tongue.

Always rotate the jack in the up position before towing the trailer.

Axle and Wheel AssemblyLocate the axle for the trailer. Note that there isnt a right or left to the axle assembly. Place one of the springs on top of the spring pad welded to the axle as shown in Diagram A. Drop two (2) 3/8 x 2-3/16 x 2 U-bolts over the springs and down through the holes in the spring pad. Secure with 3/8 flange lock nuts. Repeat this process on the other spring mounting it so that it is oriented on the axle the same as the first spring.

Slip a spring bushing spacer into the rear of the spring bracket, align the bushing with the hole in the bracket and secure in position using a 1/2 x 3 hex bolt and 1/2 flange lock nut. Tighten. Repeat on the other spring bracket.

Slide the axle assembly under the trailer frame, raise up and slide the rear of the springs above the bushings just installed. Rotate the assembly up until the front spring eyes align with the front holes in the spring bracket. Insert a 9/16 x 3-1/4 hex bolt and secure with a 9/16 lock nut. Tighten. Tighten the U-bolt attaching the springs to the axles at this time and any other bolts that may have been left loose for ease of assembly.

Place the tire and wheel assemblies on the hubs and secure with the 1/2 tapered lock nuts.

Tire And Wheel AssembliesMount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2 fine threaded tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to 85-95 ft/lb. of torque using the rotation pattern as shown in the ShoreLandrs Owners Manual. Re-torque the lug nuts after 50 miles of driving and then periodi-cally thereafter.


Bunk AssembliesLocate the fishing series bunk brackets supplied in the hardware box. Note that there are two right and two left hand brackets. Refer to Diagram A for the proper placement of the right and left hand brackets.

Place a 3/8 x 3-7/16 x 2-1/2 U-bolt over the center cross member on the left side as shown with the legs of the U-bolt pointing to the front of the trailer. Place one of the left fishing series bunk brackets over the U-bolt just installed, then place on a 3/8 flat washer, 3/8 lock washer and hex nut on each leg of the U-bolt. Hand tighten for now because they will have to be re-adjusted when the boat is placed on the trailer. Repeat this process on the remaining left fish-ing series bunk bracket placing it on the rear cross member.

Locate the 2 x 4 carpeted bunk assemblies. Note that they are pre-assembled. Position it as shown in Detail A so that the tie down bracket is located to the rear of the trailer.

Align the hole in the 2 x 4 bunk bracket already mounted to the bunk with the holes in the left fishing series bunk brackets just in-stalled. Attach the two together with a 3/8 x 1 hex bolt and flange lock nut. Repeat the above process on the rear of the bunk. Tighten the bolts just installed but do not over tighten because the bunks must be able to rotate to conform to the boat bottom when it is placed on the trailer.

Repeat the above process on the bunk on the right side of the trailer. The bunk assembly is now complete but may need to be adjusted once the boat is placed on the trailer.

Assembly is now complete and ready to be adjusted to fit the boat that it will carry.

Trailer Adjustments Place the boat on the trailer so that the transom of the boat is posi-tioned at the rear of the bunks.

Check the boat for clearance with the frame and tongue. Enough clearance is required between the two so that the boat does not contact the frame during loading and unloading.

Bunk AdjustmentThe bunk brackets are designed so that the U-bolts do not have to be removed to make the adjustments. Loosen the nuts on the U-bolt enough so that the bracket can be moved. If the bunks need to be raised higher rotate the bracket so that the legs of the U-bolt can be slid out of the current slot for the raised position, then re-positioned into a new height location. Repeat this process on the front of the bunk and then on the other bunk assembly. Once they are in the proper height position the bunk assemblies can be slid either in or out to properly fit your boat. For best loading the bunk assemblies will be positioned just to the outside of a strake. This will help center the boat as it is loaded.

Once the desired positioning is achieved tighten the nuts on the U-bolts securing the fishing series bunk brackets to the cross mem-bers.

Keel RollerCheck the front of the boat for clearance between the frame and tongue. The keel roller has slotted holes so they can be adjusted up or down to raise or lower to fit your boat. Once the boat is posi-tioned on the trailer as desired loosen the bolts and nuts attaching the keel roller to the cross member. Raise the keel roller assembly up against the keel of the boat. Retighten in the new location. Note that the boat will settle into the keel roller a little during normal use so it may be necessary to adjust them slightly higher to compen-sate for this.

Winch PostOnce the boat is in the desired location and correct height on the trailer the winch post can now be adjusted.

Slide the winch post on the tongue until it contacts the boat. Note that the bow eye roller on the winch post must be positioned directly above the boat bow eye. This location is necessary to prevent the boat from sliding forward during normal use as well as in the event of a sudden stop. This positioning will also allow the winch strap to pull directly from the winch into the bow eye for better retention. Change the bow stop height by removing the bolts attaching it to the winch post. Relocate to the proper height and refasten with the bolts just removed.

Once the winch post is set secure the winch post to the tongue with the three mounting bolts used to attach it to the tongue.

Place the bow eye safety chain in the bow eye of the boat as a secondary means of keeping the boat attached to the trailer in the event of a winch, winch strap or hook failure.

The axle is adjustable on this model trailer so that the proper tongue weight can be achieved. To change the tongue weight remove the four 3/8 x 2-3/4 hex bolts attaching the spring brackets and fender to the trailer frame. The axle can then be moved forward or back-ward to get the proper tongue weight.

A recommended tongue weight for your trailer is 7-10% of the total load including boat, motor, and trailer.

Adjustments are now complete. Double check your boat for fit. If desired fit has been achieved, tighten all fasteners that may have either been left loose or have been loosened to do the adjusting.

Note: All nuts and bolts must be tightened before towing.

The law requires that the white ground wire on both the tongue wire harness and vehicle harness be properly grounded to re-spective trailer and vehicle frames.

Re-check all fasteners on the complete trailer to make sure they are all tight and ready for towing. All fasteners should be periodi-cally check before towing.

See your ShoreLandr Owners Guide for further technical infor-mation regarding your trailer and its components.
