WINCH POST ASSEMBLY
The height that the bow eye is placed in your boat will de-
termine the length winch post required. Once this is deter-
mined, 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 by placing 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.
Note that the winch head can now be rotated either up or
down. Identify the correct hole combination to use to posi-
tion the bow eye roller just above the bow eye of your boat.
When determined, secure in this position by placing the
bushing as shown in Diagram C 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 as well.
Secure with a 1/2” lock nut. Tighten all bolts.
SPRINGS (See Page 8-9)
Position the axle so it is properly aligned with the trailer and
the brake calipers are located on the back side of the axle.
(See Diagram D).
Place the springs on the top side of the spring pads welded
to the axle. (See chassis Diagram D). Note that 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
as shown. Next place the 1/2” x 6-1/2” U-bolts down over the
top of the spring clamp, spring and axle as shown.
Place the spring and axle U-bolt plate onto the ends of the
two U-bolts just installed. Secure in place with 1/2” lock nuts.
Thread onto the U-bolts but do not tighten securely until the
complete unit is in position on the trailer. Repeat on the other
spring.
AXLE
Place one of the spring bracket bushings 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, then hook the loop end of
the spring around the bushings just installed. Note that if the
axle is positioned too low when trying to hook, the loops 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 not tightened at this
time.
