Springs:
Fasten the springs to the axle with 3/8” axle u-bolts and secure with
3/8” flange lock nuts.
Axle:
Position the axle with springs under the frame. Place the spring
bushing spacer into the rear frame brackets. Align with the top hole
and secure into the bracket with a 1/2” X 3” hex bolt hex bolt and
1/2” flange lock nut. Tighten
Install a 1/2” X 3” hex bolt into the bottom hole in the rear bracket.
Tighten, but do not over tighten. Insert the slipper end of the spring
between the two (2) bolts installed into the back bracket. Secure
the eye of the spring into the bottom hole of the front bracket with a
1/2” X 3” hex bolt and 1/2” flange lock nut. Tighten.
Tighten all bolts and nuts, but do not over tighten.
Remove the 1/2” lug nuts from the hardware bag. Mount the tire
and rim assemblies with 1/2” lug nuts using 80-90 ft./lbs. of torque
using a proper tightening procedure.
Assembly should be complete except for tightening some of the
bolts. These bolts were left loose to aid in adjusting the trailer to the
boat only. All bolts and must be tightened before towing.
NOTE: The law requires that the white ground wire on both the
tongue wire harness and vehicle harness be properly grounded to
the respective trailer and vehicle frames.
Adjustments:
Bunk Adjustments:
Place your boat on the trailer.
Determine the spacing on the bunks. It may be necessary to adjust
your bunks either in or out from the position you have it assembled.
The bunks must be adjusted to miss any keel or strake which might
be on your particular watercraft.
IMPORTANT: The bunks should be spaced as far apart as pos-
sible for stability. This in most cases will also allow your water craft
to be as low as possible on the trailer for better trailering, loading
and unloading.
NOTE: The rear tie-down straps are not provided with the trailer.
NOTE: Check all fasteners and tighten before towing.
