Remove the hardware bag from the jack and sort all items by size.
Lay the mounting plate flat so the area that the jack will be mounted
is raised above the outside edges. Locate the cloverleaf shaped
washer. Place it on the mounting plate so the center pointed area
mates with the indent in the mounting plate. Rotate the cloverleaf
shaped washer so that the notches in it match the holes in the
mounting plate.
Place the jack assembly on the mounting plate by centering the
mounting hole with the cloverleaf plate just placed in position.
Insert two of the 3/8” x 1” carriage bolts in the holes of the swivel
bracket washer. Place the washer onto the jack assembly so the bolts
go through the mounting hole of the jack assembly and through the
notches in the cloverleaf shaped washer. Insert the bolts completely
down through the mounting plate. Secure in place with 3/8” flange
lock washers. Tighten.
Note that the jack mounting plate has only one pair of holes on one
side of the plate while the other side has holes punched to accom-
modate either 3”, 4”, or 5” tongue.
Place a 3/8” x 4” hex bolt into the single hole of the mounting plate
so the head of the bolt is on the jack side of the plate.
Once inserted, place one of the mounting channels onto the bolt so
the legs of the mounting channel are pointing away from the jack.
Place on a 3/8” lock washer and hex nut. Thread on only far enough
to secure in place.
Repeat the above process on the other single hole of the mounting
plate.
Place the jack on the tongue so that the two bolts just installed are on
the top side of the tongue with the jack on the right side of the tongue
and the mounting channels on the other side of the tongue.
Visually check which of the bottom three holes in the plate will align
just under the bottom side of the tongue. Insert the remaining two
3/8” x 4” hex bolts into these holes and then through the mating
holes in the mounting channel. Secure with 3/8” lock washers and
hex nuts.
Rotate the jack into the up position. Slide the jack forward or back-
ward on the tongue to make sure it will not hit the frame of the trailer
when in the up position.
Tighten all of the mounting bolts to secure the jack assembly to the
tongue.
Always rotate the jack in the up position before towing the trailer.
Bunk:
Position two (2) long 2X4 bunks on the frame. Fasten in a desired
location that best fits your watercraft using 3/8” carrigae bolts, 3/8”
lock washer and 3/8” hex nuts. Refer to parts drawing for place-
ment. NOTE: Bunk brackets with the embossed side faces the to
the frame.
Springs:
Fasten the springs to the axle with 3/8” axle u-bolts and secure with
3/8” flange lock nuts.
Axle:
Position the axle with springs under the frame. Place the spring
bushing spacer into the rear frame brackets. Align with the top hole
and insert into the bracket from the outside in with a 1/2” X 3” hex
bolt hex bolt and 1/2” flange lock nut. Tighten
Install a 1/2” X 3” hex bolt into the bottom hole in the rear bracket.
Tighten, but do not over tighten. Insert the slipper end of the spring
between the two (2) bolts installed into the back bracket. Secure
the eye of the spring into the bottom hole of the front bracket with a
1/2” X 3” hex bolt and 1/2” flange lock nut. Tighten.
Tighten all bolts and nuts, but do not over tighten.
Remove the 1/2” lug nuts from the hardware bag. Mount the tire
and rim assemblies with 1/2” lug nuts using 85-95 ft./lbs. of torque
using a proper tightening procedure.
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 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.
Adjustments:
Bunk Adjustments:
Place your boat on the trailer.
Determine the spacing on the bunks. It may be necessary to adjust
your bunks either in or out from the position preset at the factory.
The bunks must be adjusted to miss any keel or strake which might
be on your particular watercraft.
IMPORTANT: The bunks should be spaced as far apart as pos-
sible for stability. This in most cases will also allow your water craft
to be as low as possible on the trailer for better trailering, loading
and unloading.
NOTE: The rear tie-down straps are not provided with the trailer.
NOTE: Check all fasteners and tighten before towing.
