Remove the small parts from the frame by cutting the banding. Re-
move the bolt bag and sort all the nuts and bolts by size.
BUNKS
Note that the bunk system is adjustable for width to fit most cen-
ter dimensions of the pontoon tubes. Determine the centers of the
bunk support system that fits the pontoon tubes for the pontoon
that is going to be placed on the trailer and position accordingly.
Position the carpeted bunks so approximately 10” extends past
the back of the rear bunk saddle support. Attach the bunks to the
brackets using the ¼” x 1 ½” lag screws provided. Position the sec-
ond bunk so it is just to the front of the rear bunk just installed.
Repeat this process on the bunks on the other side of the bunk
saddle support and then on the other side of the trailer.
TONGUE
See Diagram B, Page 4.
Locate the proper length tongue. Insert the rear of the tongue into
the frame tongue channel until the mounting holes line up. Locate
the wire harness. Unwind and insert the end with the two plugs that
mate with the frame harness into the hole and route out the rear of
the tongue. Place a rubber grommet around the wire in the hole on
top of the tongue.
If brakes are going to be installed, the line should be installed inside
the tongue at this time.
SIDE MARKER LIGHTS FOR TONGUE
Note: When installing the tongue in the trailer, the side marker
lights will have to be mounted to the tongue. They are shipped in a
bag that is attached to the frame. Insert the wire harness from the
side marker light into the larger hole in the side of the tongue, then
route the wire harness to the rear of the tongue. Attach the light in
position using the No. 10 x ¾” self-tapping screws provided. Plug
the side marker light into one of the single plugs located at the rear
of the tongue harness. Repeat on the other side marker light.
Secure the tongue into the frame by placing a ½” x 4” cross bolt in
the front of the tongue channel. Locate the tongue cover plate as
shown in Diagram A, detail A. Feed the wire harness and brake line
if applicable through the hole in the tongue cover plate. Position the
tongue cover plate so the mounting hole aligns with the hole in the
rear bottom of the tongue. Place a ½” x 1 ½” hex bolt downward
through the tongue cover plate, tongue and tongue channel. Se-
cure both mounting bolts with ½ flange lock nuts. Tighten.
Plug the tongue wire harness ends into the frame harnesses by
matching colors and ends. Push the excess wire provided either
into the rear of the tongue or else remove the grommet in the side
frame and place the excess wire in the side frame. Replace grom-
met just removed.
WHITE GROUND WIRE INSTALLATION
Place the self-tapping screw provided through the round metal ring
on the white ground wire of the tongue harness located at the rear
of the tongue. Attach the ground wire to the main frame by driving
the screw in the hole provided next to the tongue channel of the
frame. This will assure a positive ground for the lighting.
SAFETY CHAINS
Locate the 1/2” x 5” hex bolt. Slip the bolt through a 1/2” flat washer,
then place through the last link of one of the safety chains. Slide
through actuator housing and tongue. Slide other safety chain over
bolt and add a 1/2” flat washer. Secure with a 1/2” flange lock nut.
See Diagram B.
Assembly is complete.
BRAKE LINE
Locate the brass brake line coupling. Remove the plastic cap and
thread the brake line coming out the rear of the tongue into one
end of the coupling. Bend the line in a smooth gradual radius being
careful not to kink the line. Bend so it can be mated to the brake
line from the side frame. Once aligned, thread the side frame brake
line into the other end of the coupling. Tighten both lines into the
coupling.
