Winch Post:
Mount the bottom of the winch post weldment to the

Bunk:
Install the 12 bunks on the trailer with approximately 10
inches extending beyond the rear bunk saddle. Secure the
bunk to the bunk saddle with 1/4 X 1-1/2 lag screws.
Assembly should be complete except for tightening
some of the bolts. These bolts were left loose to aid in
adjusting the trailer to the boat only. All bolts and nuts
must be tightened before towing.
NOTE: The law requires that the white ground wire on
both the tongue wire harness and vehicle harness be
properly grounded to the respective trailer and vehicle
frames.
Trailer Adjustments
Measure the centerline of the pontoon and adjust the
bunks laterally to match the pontoon centerline. Set all the
bunk saddles to the same measurement and tighten with
3/8 X 1 adjustment bolts.
Place the boat on the trailer so the rear of the pontoon is
flush with the end of the bunk. Do not allow the pontoon
tubes to extend beyond the bunk support.
Slide the winch post into position on the tongue.
Adjust the undercarriage fore and aft for proper tongue
weight.
NOTE: Double-check all fasteners to ensure they are
properly tightened.
