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 arm.
Place the other end of the bunk in the bracket and adjustable
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.
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.
