WINCH POST ASSEMBLY
The height that the bow eye is placed in your boat will determine
the length winch post required. Once this is determined,
attach the winch base to the tongue with three 1/2” x 4-1/2”
carriage bolts and lock nuts.
Align the holes in the Profile 2000 mounting channel with
the holes in the top of the winch base. Attach the front of
the winch head mounting channel to the base by placing a
1/2” x 4-1/2” hex bolt through the hole closest to the front of
the winch base. Secure with a lock nut. Do not tighten.
Note that the winch head can now be rotated either up or down.
Identify the correct hole combination to use to position the bow
eye roller just above the bow eye of your boat. When determined,
secure in this position by placing the bushing as shown in Detail J
inside the winch base so it aligns with the hole just identified for the
proper adjustment.
Insert another 1/2” x 4-1/2” hex bolt through the determined mount-
ing hole in the mounting channel and winch base making sure the
bolt passes through the bushing as well. Secure with a 1/2” lock
nut. Tighten all bolts.
ROCKER ARMS
Locate the rocker arms (Ref. No. 4 in Diagram D). Note that the
center bushing has a grease zerk in it. Position the rocker arms up
into the center channel welded in the center of the tandem spring
bracket so that the grease zerk is pointing down. Align the holes in
the channel with the rocker arm. Secure in place with a 1/2” x 4-1/2”
hex bolt and lock nut. Tighten. Repeat this process on the other
rocker arm and spring bracket. Grease the rocker at this time by
applying grease through the zerk just discussed.
NOTE: The grease zerk is positioned down so that it is
accesible for servicing when needed.
SPRINGS
Position the axles so they are properly aligned with the trailer. Posi-
tion the brake axle so that the disc brake calipers are on the back-
side of the axle. The brake axle must always be mounted as the rear
axle to give you the best braking possible. There is no right and left
to the axle without brakes. It can be mounted either way.
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 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. 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 rear axle under the frame, then hook the
hook loop of the spring around the bushings just in-
stalled. Note that if the axle is positioned too low when try-
ing to hook, the hooks will not hook around the bushings.
Raise the front of the springs up so they align with the rear hole in
the axle boogie just installed. Attach with 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolts
and lock nuts.
Next install another spring bracket bushing in the front hole on
the rock arm assembly. Attach with a 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt and
lock nut. Tighten.
Hook the hook end of the springs mounted to the front axle over
the bushing just installed in the rocker arm assembly. Then swing
the front of the spring up and attach the front mounting hole in the
spring bracket with another 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt and lock nut.
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. Remove the
brass plug from the port in the brass block on the right brake caliper.
Thread in the brake hose male end and tighten. Place the other end
of the hose up through the hole provided in the brake line clip brack-
et. Secure in place with the hose clip provided. (Item No. 63)
Remove the plastic cap from the end of the frame brake line tubing
coming out of the side frame exit hole. Carefully uncoil the brake
line so that it will reach the end of the hose just attached to the
brake line clip bracket. Thread the brake line fitting into the brake
line hose. Tighten. All bleeding to the line can be done through the
bleeder on the right caliper.
DUAL AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION
If your trailer is equipped with dual axle brakes connect the line to
the axle as follows:
Cut the tape securing the brake line hose to the axle. Remove the
brass plug from the port in the brass block on the right brake cali-
per. Thread the brake hose male end into the block and tighten.
Attach the brake hoses from the axles to the spring bracket with the
brake line clip brackets as shown in Diagram D. Once the brake
hoses are secured in place with the hose clips (Ref. No. 31) the
lines can be attached.
Identify which brake line hose that the side frame brake line tubing
will be connected to. In a dual axle installation it can connected to
either one. When identified, locate the brass tee connector. Screw
the male port of the tee into a brake line hose. Tighten. Next con-
nect the side frame brake line into the top port on the tee. Connect
the two axles together using the 40” brake line supplied. Thread
one end of the line into the brass tee just installed. Route the line
over to the other axle, form a loop in the line and then connect the
other end into the brake line hose for the second axle.
Fill the actuator reservoir with brake fluid and bleed the line per the
instructions in the brake manual. Note that the axle is already bled
at the factory during assembly. All bleeding to the line can be done
through the bleeder on the right caliper.
TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLIES
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2” fine threaded
tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to 80-90 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.
