IMPORTANT:
All hardware for your trailer is stainless steel. It is
important that you use an anti-seize material on the
bolt threads when assembling to prevent gaulding.
Tongue
The tongue comes shipped positioned backwards in the
frame. Remove the nut and bolt that holds the tongue
in place and discard. Slide the tongue out from it’s ship-
ping position and re-install in the front tongue chan-
nel. Line the holes in the tongue with the holes in the
tongue channel. Secure with a 1/2” x 4” stainless steel
hex bolt and 1/2” lock nut in the front cross hole.
Wire Harness
Remove the wire harness from the rear of the tongue. Place
the wire harness and the brake line (If equipped with brakes)
through the hole in the tongue cover plate. (See Detail D).
Secure the tongue cover plate in position with a 1/2” x 1-1/2”
hex bolt and 1/2” lock nut. Tighten. Plug the tongue wire har-
ness ends into the frame harnesses by matching colors and
ends. Push the extra wire into the rear of the tongue or remove
the grommet in the side frame and place the extra wire in
the side frame. Replace grommets just removed.
Brake Line (If Applicable)
Locate the brass brake line coupling. Remove the plastic cap
and thread the brake line coming out the rear of the tongue
into one end of the coupling. Bend the line in a smooth gradual
radius being careful not to kink the line. Bend so it can be
mated to the brake line from the side frame. Once aligned,
thread the side frame brake line into the other end of the
coupling. Tighten both lines into the coupling.
White Ground Wire Installation
Place the self-tapping screw through the round metal ring on the
white ground wire of the tongue harness located at the rear of
the tongue. Attach the ground wire to the main frame by driving
the screw in the hole next to the tongue channel of the frame.
This will assure a positive ground for the lighting.
Safety Chains
Place 1/2” x 5” hex bolt through a 1/2” flat washer and the
last link of the safety chains. Insert in the hole (bottom front
of the actuator) on the tongue. Place the second chain on
the same bolt that is extending through the other side of the
tongue. Secure with a 1/2” flat washer and hex lock nut.
Winch Post Assembly
(See Detail H). The height that the bow eye is
located on your boat will determine the winch post length 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 with 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.
The winch head can be rotated either up or down. Identify
the correct hole combination to position the bow eye roller
just above the bow eye of your boat. Secure in position by
placing the bushing as shown in Detail H 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 mounting hole in the mounting channel
and winch base making sure the bolt passes through the
bushing. Secure with a 1/2” lock nut. Tighten all bolts.
