Springs
Position the axle so that it is aligned with the trailer.
See Page 5. Position the brake axle so that the disc
brake calipers are on the back side of the axle.
Place the springs on the topside of the spring pads welded
to the axle. (See chassis diagram) 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. Place the 1/2” x
6-1/2” U-bolts over the top of the spring clamp, spring and
axle. Place the spring and axle U-bolt plate onto the ends of
the two U-bolts. Secure in place with 1/2” lock nuts. Tighten.
Axle
Place a spring bracket bushing (Ref. #21) 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, hook the hook loop of the spring around
the bushings just installed. Note: If the axle is positioned too
low, 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.
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
periodically thereafter.
See Page 16 for final adjustments.
Bunk Assembly (B-Series)
The 2 x 6 bunk assemblies with mounting brackets are
factory assembled. Place the end of the bunk with the two
brackets on the equiload bunk arm. (See Detail E, Page 2)
Secure with a 3/8” x 1” hex bolt and lock nuts through the
brackets on the bunk and the ear on each end of the equiload
arm. Repeat on the other end of the equiload arm.
Place the other end of the bunk in the bracket and adjust-
able bracket mounted on the front cross member. (The
adjustable bracket is adjustable in height.) Once the proper
position for the rear cross member is determined, the front
of the bunk attaches to the bracket using two No. 10 x 1-
1/4” self tapping screws as shown in Detail G.
The 3/8” bolts can be tightened, do not over tighten. The
bunks should be allowed to rotate slightly to conform to the
boat bottom.
See Page 16 for final adjustments.
