FINAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Remove all banded items from the frame and sort hardware
by size.
SPRINGS
Position the axle so it is properly aligned with the trailer. Place
the springs on the top side of the spring pads welded to the
axle. (See chassis diagram). 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. Secure in place 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.
TIRE & WHEEL ASSEMBLY
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 Shore-
Landr’s Owners Manual.
Re-torque the lug nuts after 50 miles of driving and then
periodically thereafter.
WINCH POSTS
The winch posts can be mounted as far forward on the mount-
ing channels as possible until the PWC’s are placed on the
trailer. Attach by placing the 3/8” bolts through the holes in the
bottom of the winch posts and the mounting channels.
Place the winch handles onto the winch drive shafts and se-
cure using the 1/2 “ nuts provided. All other adjustments will
be done after the PWC’s are positioned on the trailer.
OPTIONAL JACK & MOUNTING HARDWARE (Page 5)
The hardware for the optional jack should be included in
the winch base kit box. After opening the bag and sorting
the components place jack inside spacer on the winch
stand base aligning the slots with the holes in the base
and the dimple on the plate in the dimple on the winch
base. Place the jack over this and slide the jack retainer
platin place over the spacer plte aligning the square holes
with the slots in the spacer plate. Insert two (2) 12/ x 1
1/4” carriage bolts and secure on the inside with 1/2” lock
washers and 1/2” hex nuts.
BUNKS: FRONT CROSSMEMBER
Outside PWC bunk brackets on each side of the trailer:
Slide a 3/8” x 3-7/16” x 3” square U-bolt (Item #10, Page 3)
over the front cross member so the threaded end of the U-bolt
is pointing forward. Position the PWC bunk bracket on the
front side of the cross member so that the dog leg end of the
bracket is pointing outward. Align two holes in the PWC bunk
bracket with the legs of the U-bolt, then insert U-bolt through
the holes in the PWC bunk bracket and secure with 3/8” lock
washers and hex nuts. Repeat this process on the other
outside PWC bunk bracket on the front cross member.
Inside PWC bunk brackets on each side of the trailer:
Repeat the above process except point the dog-leg of the
PWC bunk brackets toward the center of the trailer.
BUNKS: REAR CROSS MEMBER
Outside PWC bunk brackets on each side of the trailer:
Slide a 3/8” x 3-7/16” x 3” square U-bolt (Item #10, Page 3)
over the rear cross member so the threaded end of the U-bolt
is pointing rearward. Position the PWC bunk bracket on the
rear side of the cross member so that the dog leg end of the
PWC bunk bracket is pointing outward. Align two holes in
the PWC bunk bracket with the legs of the U-bolt, then insert
U-bolt through the holes and secure with 3/8” lock washers
and hex nuts.
Repeat this process on the other PWC bunk bracket on the
rear crossmember.
Inside PWC bunk brackets on each side of the trailer:
Repeat the above process except point the dog-leg of the
PWC bunk brackets toward the center of the trailer.
Locate the bunk assemblies. Note that one end of the bunks
have a tie down bracket fastened to it.
Position the bunk above the PWC bunk brackets just in-
stalled so that the tie down bracket is to the rear of the
trailer. Align the holes in the bunk brackets (Item #2, Page
3) with a hole in the PWC bunk brackets. Note that the PWC
bunk bracket must be on the correct side of the leg of the
bunk bracket attached to the bunk so that the metal of both
brackets will hinge bind themselves when the bunks are piv-
oted. This will keep the bunks from pivoting too far when the
machines are removed from the trailer. Attach the two
together using 3/8” x 1” hex bolt and 3/8” flange lock
nuts. Tighten but do not over tighten. The bunks must be
allowed to pivot so they can conform to the PWC boat bottom
when it is placed on the trailer. Repeat this process on the
other bunks.
