WINCH POST
Once all other adjustments are complete the winch post
can be adjusted. Slide the winch post base backward
on the tongue until the bow roller comes in contact
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 desired height required to fit your boat.
Once in this position, align the closest pair of holes in
the brackets and reinsert the bolt just removed. Tight-
en.
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.
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 ad-
justing.
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.
