TRAILER ADJUSTMENTS
The adjustment of the trailer to your boat is very important not only
for the trailer, but also the boat. Failure to do so may lead to poten-
tial failure or damage to either the trailer or boat.
Adjust as follows:
Axle Adjustment
The amount of tongue weight on your trailer can be adjusted as
follows:
To lower the tongue weight, adjust the axle assembly forward. To
increase the tongue weight, adjust the axle backward.
The distance that the axle assembly has to be moved will vary be-
cause it is directly related to the weight and center of gravity of the
boat placed on it.
Best towing is achieved when the tongue weight is 5-7% of the total
gross load of the complete unit.
Wire harnesses and brake line lines will need care when moving
the axle assembly.
Rear Support System
Place the boat on the trailer so that the transom is located at the
rear of the support system. The transom of the boat should be with-
in 1-2” of the end of the bunks.
Bunks
Make sure the bunks are positioned far enough apart to give your
boat as much stability as possible while transporting. Position the
bunks so they are located just to the outside of a strake or else
have the strake located between the bunks. The bunk positioning
is a pre-determined position that will work best for your particular
boat.
Front Support System
Bunk
Adjust the bunks up so that there is approximately 1-2 inches clear-
ance between the keel of the boat and the center cross member
pad.
Winch Post
The winch post is pre-adjusted to fit the boat. If it does not, use the
following instructions to adjust to properly fit your boat.
Once all other adjustments are complete the winch post can be ad-
justed. 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, tight-
TA0116 Lund Load Assembly Instructions
The TA0116 load guides are designed to fit on the Lund boat trail-
ers manufactured with 2 x 4 side frame tubing .The length of the
mounting U-bolts provided will accommodate this size tubing only.
Mounting on a smaller or larger side frame tube may not be pos-
sible because of the U-bolt length. .
Remove all items from the box and sort by size.
Note that the arm weldments of the load guide are identical so
there is no right or left part.
Locate the arm weldments and the carpeted bunks. Attach the
carpeted bunks to the arm weldments using the 5/16” x 1 ½” hex
bolts and lock washers provided. Tighten.
Make sure the boat is centered on the trailer before attempting to
install the load guides.
Position one of the load guide assemblies on the top side of the
side frame and move in or out until the desired clearance has
been established between the load guide and the boat. Select the
proper pair of holes that you will use to mount the arm weldments
to the side frame.
Locate two of the ½” x 2 9/16” x 5 ½” U-bolts. Drop them down
through the holes in the arm weldments just identified as shown
in the diagram. Place the U-bolts so one of the U-bolt legs is on
each side of the side frame. Place one of the metal plates pro-
vided onto the legs of the U-bolts. Secure with ½” flange lock nuts.
Slide the load guide forward or backward on the frame until the
rear of the load guide does not extend past the rear of the boat.
Tighten the load guide in this position.
Repeat the above process on the load guide for the other side of
the trailer.
Assembly is complete.
