FINAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Remove all banded items from the
frame and sort hardware by size.
Springs:
Install one of the spring bushings Item
#96 in the rear of one of the spring
brackets and secure it in place with
a 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt and 9/16”
flange lock nut. Hook the hook end
of the spring around this bushing and
then swing the front up into the spring
bracket. Align the eye of the spring with
the hole provided in the spring bracket
and secure in place with another 9/16” x
3-1/4” hex bolt and 9/16” flange lock nut.
Tighten. Repeat on the other spring.
Axle:
Position the axle under the springs just
installed. Align the pin on the bottom
center of the spring with the hole pro-
vided in the spring pad welded to the
top of the axle. Place a spring clamp
Item #97 on the topside of the spring.
Drop two 1/2” x 2-5/16” x 6-1/2” U-bolts
down over the spring clamp, spring
and then the axle. Place on a spring
and axle U-bolt plate (Item #99) and
secure in place with 1/2” flange lock
nuts. Repeat on the other spring.
Tighten all nuts on the U-bolts just
installed.
Tire And Wheel Assemblies:
ount the tire and wheel assemblies us-
ing 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.
Winch Posts:
Locate one of the winch posts weld-
ments Item #12. Place it onto the
w i n c h p o s t w e l d m e n t m o u n t -
ing section of the frame as shown.
Note that there is a series of hole
positions that the winch post can be
mounted in. Select the one that will
best adapt to your PWC and secure
the winch post weldment to the frame
using (2) 3/8” x 3-3/4” hex bolts and
flange lock nuts. Repeat this process
on the remaining winch post weldment.
Do not tighten at this time because they
will have to be adjusted to the PWC’s
once they are placed on the trailer.
Walk Board:
Locate the front walk board mounting
bracket. (Item #3) Place it on the front
of the frame and align the holes in the
bracket with the holes provided in the
frame. Mount the front walk board brack-
et to the front of the frame by placing two
(2) 3/8” x 5” carriage bolts in the holes
provided from the top side down through
the frame. Secure with 3/8” lock wash-
ers and hex nuts.
Mount one of the back walk board
plates to the middle cross member
by placing 3/8” x 3-1/2” carriage
bolts from the top side down through
the plate and cross member.
Secure with a 3/8” flange lock nut.
Tighten. Repeat this process on the rear
crossmember.
Place the walk board down the cen-
terline of the trailer on top of the walk
board mounting brackets just installed.
Center on the brackets side ways and
lengthwise. Attach the walk board to the
brackets by placing No. 10 x 1-1/2” Phil-
lips-head screws in the holes provided in
the mounting brackets from the bottom
side up into the carpeted walk board.
Thread in the screws until tight.
Bunks: Front Crossmember
Outside PWC bunk brackets on each
side of the trailer:
Slide a 3/8” x 3-7/16” x 3” square U-bolt
(Item #31) over the front cross member
so the threaded end of the U-bolt is
pointing forward. Position the PWC
bunk bracket on the front side of the
cross member so that the dog leg end
of the bracket is pointing outward. Align
two holes in the PWC bunk bracket with
the legs of the U-bolt, then insert U-bolt
through the holes in the PWC bunk
bracket and secure with 3/8” flange lock
nuts. Repeat this process on the other
outside PWC bunk bracket on the front
cross member.
Inside PWC bunk brackets on each
side of the trailer:
Repeat the above process except point
the dog-leg of the PWC bunk brackets
toward the center of the trailer.
Rear Cross Member
Outside PWC bunk brackets
on each side of the trailer:
Slide a 3/8” x 3-7/16” x 3” square U-bolt
(Item #31) over the rear cross member
so the threaded end of the U-bolt is
pointing rearward. Position the PWC
bunk bracket on the rear side of the
cross member so that the dog leg end
of the PWC bunk bracket is pointing
outward. Align two holes in the PWC
bunk bracket with the legs of the U-bolt,
then insert U-bolt through the holes
and secure with 3/8” flange lock nuts.
Repeat this process on the other
PWC bunk bracket on the rear cross
member.
Inside PWC bunk brackets on each
side of the trailer:
Repeat the above process except point
the dog-leg of the PWC bunk brackets
toward the center of the trailer.
Locate the bunk assemblies. Note that
one end of the bunks have a tie down
bracket fastened to it.
Position the bunk above the PWC bunk
brackets just installed so that the tie
down bracket is to the rear of the trailer.
Align the holes in the bunk brackets
(Item #98) with a hole in the PWC bunk
brackets. Note that the PWC bunk
bracket must be on the correct side of
the leg of the bunk bracket attached to
the bunk so that the metal of both brack-
ets will hinge bind themselves when the
bunks are pivoted. This will keep the
bunks from pivoting too far when the
m a c h i n e s a r e r e m o v e d f r o m
the trailer. Attach the two together
using 3/8” x 1” hex bolt and 3/8”
flange lock nuts. Tighten but do not
over tighten. The bunks must be
allowed to pivot so they can conform to
the PWC boat bottom when it is placed
on the trailer. Repeat this process on
the other bunks.
Final Adjustment:
Place the PWC’s on the trail-
er so the rear of the machines are
positioned at the rear of the bunks.
Check the bunk positioning for
clearance with the strakes. Loos-
en the U-bolts securing the PWC
bunk brackets to the crossmembers
and slide the bunks either in or out
so that they are located just to the
outside of matching strakes. This
will not only help with loading but will
also give you proper support for your
machine. Re-tighten the bunks when
