TONGUE ASSEMBLY
Place the frame to be assembled on saw horses or stands to assist in the assembly. Remove all items
that are banded to the frame. Sort the items in the hardware box by item and the hardware by size.
Locate the tongue for the trailer. Note that there are three different lengths of tongues designed to fit
this particular frame. The length of tongue will determine the length of boat that can be placed on the
trailer when assembled. The 7’ tongue will accommodate boats 12-14 feet in length, the 8’-6” tongue
will fit boats 14’ - 16’ 6” in length and the 10’ tongue is used for boats 15’ 6”- 18’ long.
Once the proper tongue is identified place it on the stands so it can be prepared for installation into the
frame. Locate the two amber side marker lights shipped in the hardware box. Uncoil the wire and insert
the plug end into the larger, center hole that is drilled in the side of the tongue. As the wire is inserted
into the hole direct the wire so that it will go to the forward end of the tongue. Pull the wire out the front
of the tongue. It will be connected to the tongue harness at a later time. Attach the light to the tongue
using two (2) No. 10 x 3/4” self-tapping screws provided. Repeat this process on the other light on the
other side of the tongue.
Locate the tongue wire harness. Insert the end of the harness with the small plug into the hole located
in the top of the tongue. Pull the wire backward through the tongue until the end comes out the rear of
