SPRINGS
Position the axle so it is properly aligned with the trailer. The end of
the axle that has the brake line hose attached must be to the right
side of the trailer when standing at the rear of the trailer and look-
ing forward. This positioning places the disc brake calipers on the
backside of the axle.
Place the springs on the topside of the spring pads welded to the
axle. (See Diagram D). Note that the hook end of the spring must be
mounted to the rear of the trailer. Place a spring clamp on the top
center of the spring as shown. Next place the 1/2” x 6-1/2” U-bolts
down over the top of the spring clamp, spring and axle as shown.
Place the spring and axle U-bolt plate onto the ends of the two U-
bolts just placed around the axle. Secure with 1/2” lock nuts. Thread
onto the U-bolts but do not tighten securely until the complete unit
is in position on the trailer. Repeat on the other spring.
AXLE
Place one of the spring bracket bushings into the rear of the spring
bracket and secure with a 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt and hex lock nut.
Repeat in other spring bracket.
Position the axle under the frame, then hook the hook loop of the
spring around the bushings just installed. Note that if the axle is
positioned too low when trying to hook, the hooks will not hook
around the bushings.
Raise the front of the springs up so they align with the front hole
of the spring bracket. Secure in place with 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolts
and lock nuts.
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts not tightened at this time.
ONE AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION
Cut the tape securing the brake line hose to the axle. Re-
move the brass plug from the port in the brass block on
the right brake caliper. Thread in the brake hose male
end and tighten. Repeat on opposite side of axle.
Carefully pull brake line hose from the side frame tube, threading it
through the brake line clip and down to the port in the brass block
on the right caliper. Remove the plastic cap and thread into the port
on the brass block and tighten. Insert grommet into the brake line
clip to protect hose. All bleeding of the line can be done through the
bleeder on the caliper.
Tire Size and Carrying Capacity Chart
Tire Size ............................ST215/75R 14-C
GVWR ...............................3740 lb.
Carrying Capacity ............2900 lb.
Axle ...................................Brake
Refer to the tire side wall for correct tire pressure.
Recommended carrying capacity is based on shipping weight
of the trailer with standard equipment. Adding optional equip-
ment may decrease the trailer’s carrying capacity.
Fill the actuator reservoir with brake fluid and bleed the line per
the instructions in the brake manual. All bleeding to the line can be
done through the bleeder on the left caliper.
ATTACHING THE AXLE HOSE TO THE SPRING PLATE
It is important that the brake hose on each end of the axle be at-
tached to the spring plate to eliminate the loops that are formed in
the hose when it is attached to the calipers. Doing so will eliminate
the possibility of the hose getting caught or damaged while towing.
Locate one of the hose clamps. Spread open the clamp so it can be
slipped around the hose in the loop that is formed under the spring
as it is routed to the caliper. Once in position, squeeze the clamp
back together.
Raise the hose clamp and the loop up until the hose clamp is on top
of the spring bracket raising the loop up so it is on the back side of
the axle. Align the hole in the clamp with the hole in the rear of the
spring bracket between the two U-bolts.
Place a No. 10 flat washer on a No. 10 x 1” machine bolt. Insert the
bolt into the clamp, then down through the spring bracket. Place
another No. 10 flat washer over threaded end of bolt and secure
with a No. 10 hex nut. Tighten.
Repeat this process on the other loop on the other end of the axle.
TIRE & WHEEL ASSEMBLIES
Mount 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
ShoreLandr’s Owners Manual.
Re-torque the lug nuts after 50 miles of driving and then periodi-
cally thereafter.
B-SERIES BUNK ASSEMBLY
Locate the two short and two long 2 x 6 bunk assemblies. The long
bunks are to be mounted to the inside of the rear mounting arms
and attach to the front cross member with the brackets provided
while the short bunks will attach to the rear mounting arm only.
(See Diagram A on page 2). Note that the bunk mounting brackets
are assembled to the bunks at the factory. Place the end of the
long bunk assemblies with the two brackets towards the rear of the
trailer. Place the assembly on the equiload bunk arm and secure
by placing a 3/8” x 1” hex bolt through the bracket on the bunk and
the ear on the end of the equiload arm. Secure in place using a 3/8”
lock nut. Repeat on the other end of the arm. (See Diagram A). Do
not tighten until assembly is complete.
Place the other end of the bunk in the bracket installed on the front
cross member. The bunk can now be attached to the bracket using
two- No. 10 x 1-1/4” self tapping screws as shown in Detail C.
Attach the two short bunk assemblies to the outside of the rear
equiload arms using 3/8” x 1” hex bolts similar to the long inside
bunks.
The 3/8” x 1” bolts attaching the bunks to the equiload arms and
front bunk bracket can be tightened but not over tightened because
the bunks should be allowed to rotate slightly to conform to the boat
bottom once the boat is set on the trailer.
