ShoreLand'r PWC1512W V.2 - Manual (Page 5)

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 brackets will hinge
bind themselves when the bunks
are pivoted. This will keep the bunks
from pivoting too far when the
machines are removed from 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 trailer so
the rear of the machines are
positioned at the rear of the bunks.
Check the bunk positioning for
clearance with the strakes. Loosen
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 in the proper location. Repeat
on the other machine.
Note the PWC bunk brackets also
have multiple holes for raising or
lowering the position that the
machine sets on the trailer with
respect to the frame and fenders. It
may require a change in the height
adjustment to clear the fenders on
certain machines.
Winch Post Weldments:
Once the machines are properly
positioned on the bunks the winch
post weldments can now be
adjusted. Remove the two 3/8” x
3-3/4” hex bolts installed earlier to
hold the winch post weldment to the
frame. Slide the winch posts
weldment either forward of back-
ward so it corresponds with the front
of the machine. Rotate the winch
post weldment so that the bow stop
roller is positioned just above the
bow eye of the machine. Attach the
winch strap route under the bow
stop roller, then to the bow eye and
tighten the winch strap slightly to
help hold the winch post weldment
in position. Locate and align the
mounting holes in the winch post
weldment with the holes in the frame
member. Re-install the 3/8” x 3-3/4”
hex bolts in the new location.
Secure with the 3/8” lock nuts
removed. Tighten in position.
Pull the machine into the winch post
weldment bow eye roller and check
to make sure the positioning is
correct. The bow eye roller must be
positioned just above the bow eye
to properly stop the machines in the
event of a sudden stop. The winch
strap must run under the bow eye
roller when it is attached to the bow
eye.
Repeat the above process on the
other machine.
Tongue Weight:
Check the trailer now for proper
tongue weight. The recommended
tongue weight range is indicated
earlier in this manual. A tongue
weight in the indicated range will
give you the best towing
results.
Re-check all nuts and bolts for tight-
ness to make sure that none have
been missed during assembly. Unit
is now ready to be towed.
