Winch Post
The winch post is pre-assembled. If it does
not fit, use the following instructions to adjust
to properly fit your boat.
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. Tighten.
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.
Check the boat to make sure it is in the
desired location forward and backward on
the trailer. If location is as instructed above,
tighten the three bolts in the winch base
securing the winch base to the tongue.
Once all adjustments are complete and
checked, connect to the tow vehicle to make
sure all of the lights are operating properly
and match the tow vehicle.
Re-check all fasteners on the complete
trailer to make sure they are all tight and
ready for towing. All fasteners should be
periodically checked before towing.
See your ShoreLand’r Owner’s Guide for
further technical information regarding your
trailer and its components.
Recommended carrying capacity is based
on shipping weight of the trailer with
standard equipment. Adding optional
equipment may decrease the trailer’s
carrying capacity.
