REAR ROLLER RACK
The spacing between the rollers on the roller rack can be
changed so that they will adapt to the spacing of the boat
strakes. To change the spacing remove the cotter key that
holds the roller to the roller pin. Remove the washers and
roller. Note that there is a spacer on the roller pin. This
spacer can be installed either to the inside of outside of the
roller. Depending where it is placed will change the spacing
with regards to the roller on the other end of the roller pin.
The roller and spacer on the other end of the pin can be
interchanged as well if needed. As a result the spacing can
be changed either 1-1/2” or 3” between the rollers. Once
installed in the proper location to fit your boat, reinstall the
roller and washers. Secure in place with the cotter key just
removed.
The height of the roller rack with respect to the frame can be
changed. Loosen the U-bolts attaching the roller arm
assemblies to the rear pivot arm. Raise or lower the roller
arm assemblies to the desired height, then retighten the U-
bolts securing the roller rack assemblies in the new location.
The roller rack spacing between the individual racks can be
changed by sliding the roller arm assemblies to the desired
location before tightening the U-bolts attaching them to the
rear pivot arm.
Note that they must be spaced the same distance outward
from the center line of the trailer for the boat to load straight.
KEEL ROLLERS
Check the front of the boat for clearance between the frame
and tongue. The keel rollers have slotted holes so they can
be adjusted up or down to raise or lower your boat. Position
your boat as desired on the trailer. Loosen the bolts and
nuts attaching the keel rollers to the cross members. Raise
the keel roller assemblies up against the keel of the boat.
Retighten in the new location. Note that the boat will settle
into the keel rollers a little during normal use so it may be
necessary to adjust them slightly higher to compensate for
this.
WINCH POST
Once the boat is in the desired location and correct height
on the trailer the winch post can now be adjusted.
Slide the winch post on the tongue until it contacts the boat.
Note that the V-block on the winch post must be positioned
directly above the boat bow eye. This location is necessary
to prevent the boat from sliding forward during normal use
as well as in the event of a sudden stop. This positioning will
also allow the winch strap to pull directly from the winch into
the bow eye for better retention. Change the bow stop
height by removing the bolts attaching it to the winch post.
Relocate to the proper height and refasten with the bolts just
removed. Note that the winch may have to be moved as
well to accomplish the height change. KEEL ROLLER INSTALLATION
Remove the keel roller assemblies from the hardware box.
Position them on the back side of the front two cross
members of the frame as shown in Diagram A. Attach them
to the cross members by placing a 1/2” star washer on a
1/2” x 1-1/4” hex bolt. Align the slot in the keel roller bracket
with the hole provided in the cross member. Insert the bolt
into the slot, then into the hole in the cross member and
attach to the cross member with a 1/2” lock washer and hex
nut. Repeat this process on the second bolt used to attach
the keel roller assembly to the cross member.
Repeat the above process on the second keel roller
assembly. The keel roller assemblies can be left loose until
the boat is placed on the trailer for final adjustment.
AXLE & WHEEL ASSEMBLY
Locate the axle for the trailer. Note that there isn’t a right or
left to the axle assembly. Place one of the springs on top of
the spring pad welded to the axle as shown in Diagram D.
Drop two (2) 3/8” x 2 3/16” x 2” U-bolts over the springs and
down through the holes in the spring pad. Secure with 3/8”
flange lock nuts. Repeat this process on the other spring
mounting it so that it is oriented on the axle the same as the
first spring.
Slip a spring bushing spacer into the rear of the spring
bracket, align the bushing with the hole in the bracket and
secure in position using a 1/2” x 3” hex bolt and 1/2” flange
lock nut. Tighten. Repeat on the other spring bracket.
Slide the axle assembly under the trailer frame, raise up and
slide the rear of the springs above the bushings just
installed. Rotate the assembly up until the front spring eyes
align with the front holes in the spring bracket. Insert a 9/16”
x 3-1/4” hex bolt and secure with a 9/16” lock nut. Tighten.
Tighten the U-bolt attaching the springs to the axles at this
time and any other bolts that may have been left loose for
ease of assembly.
Place the tire and wheel assemblies on the hubs and secure
with the 1/2” tapered lock nuts.
TIRE & 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.
TRAILER ADJUSTMENTS
Place the boat on the trailer so that the center of the rear
rollers on the roller rack are approximately 4” from the
transom of the boat.
Check the boat for clearance with the fenders and tongue.
Enough clearance is required between the two so that the
boat does not contact the frame during loading and
unloading.
