ward to allow the trailer to be adjusted to various length

boats. This is accomplished by removing the pivot bolt

on holds each end of the rear pivot to the side frame.

Reposition the rear pivot arm into the other hole posi-

tion predrilled in the side frame.

Reattach the rear pivot to the side frame with the bolts

just removed. Tighten.

The wire harness for the three-light identification light

must be repositioned where it comes from the side

frame to the rear pivot to eliminate slack, and sagging

of the wiring.

ROLLERS

Position the roller racks so they are far enough apart

to give your boat stability while transporting. When the

desired width is achieved, move the roller rack system

so that the rollers are just to the outside of a strake.

The rollers need to be adjusted so that you have a

minimum of one to two inches of clearance between

the keel of the boat and the center cross member

pads. This will help center the boat when loading and

unloading.

When the desired position is determined, tighten only

enough to hold the rollers from moving while the other

adjustments are being made. Final tightening will be

done at the end of the adjusting process.

FRONT ROLLER SUPPORT SYSTEM

The keel of the boat must rest on the center of the

front keel roller system creating a three-point support

system. The keel roller system is designed to fit most

boats without needing any further adjustment, how-

ever there are considerable differences in boat bot-

tom designs and certain lines of boats will require a

riser. One riser is shipped inside the rear keel guide

roller bracket. This can be removed and bolted on the

bottom side of the keel guide roller bracket so it is be-

tween it and the keel cradle itself. This will raise the

front end of your boat 3/4”. In the event that this is not

enough, an additional one can be added to the other

keel guide roller bracket.

Once the height of the roller cradle assembly is es-

tablished the stabilizer pads can be adjusted. This is

accomplished by sliding the pad up against the boat

bottom by hand. It is not necessary that they carry

much weight. They are designed to just give your boat

added stability while being towed. It may be necessary

to adjust the assembly up so that they can be moved

further apart giving additional support. Pull the assem-

bly away from the boat. Place the U-bolt that holds

the assembly to the cross member in a lower hole in

the bracket. Push the assembly back against the boat.

Tighten in position.

WINCH POST

Once all other adjustments are complete the winch

post can be adjusted. Slide the winch post base back-

ward on the tongue until the bow roller comes in con-

tact with the boat.

This bow roller needs to be positioned directly above

the boat bow eye to prevent your boat from moving

forward in the event of a sudden stop. It can be moved

up or down by removing the back bolt that mounts the

winch head to the base. When this bolt is removed,

the head can be rotated up or down to reach the de-

sired height required to fit your boat. Once in this posi-

tion, align the closest pair of holes in the brackets and

reinsert the bolt just removed. Tighten.

Attach the winch strap and crank winch tight. Attach

the bow eye safety chain into the bow eye of the boat

as well. This is just another level of protection to keep

your boat and trailer together as one unit.

Adjustments are now complete. Double check your

boat for fit. If the desired fit has been achieved, tighten

all fasteners that may have either been left loose or

have been loosened to do the adjusting.

Note: All nuts and bolts must be tightened before tow-

ing. The law requires that the white ground wire on

both the tongue wire harness and vehicle harness be

properly grounded to respective trailer and vehicle

frames.

Recheck all fasteners on the complete trailer to make

sure they are all tight and ready for towing. All fasten-

ers should be periodically checked before towing.

See your ShoreLand’r Owner’s Guide for further

technical information regarding your trailer and its

components.
