TONGUE ASSEMBLY
Place the frame to be assembled on saw horses or stands to assist
in the assembly. Remove all items that are banded to the frame.
Sort the items in the hardware box by item and the hardware by
size.
See Diagram A.
Locate the tongue for the trailer.
Place it on the stands so it can be prepared for installation into
the frame. Locate the two amber side marker lights shipped in
the hardware box. Uncoil the wire and insert the plug end into the
larger, center hole that is drilled in the side of the tongue. As the
wire is inserted into the hole direct the wire so that it will go to the
forward end of the tongue. Pull the wire out the front of the tongue.
It will be connected to the tongue harness at a later time. Attach the
light to the tongue using two (2) No. 10 x 3/4” self-tapping screws
provided. Repeat this process on the other light on the other side
of the tongue.
Locate the tongue wire harness. Insert the end of the harness with
the small plug into the hole located in the top of the tongue. Pull
the wire backward through the tongue until the end comes out the
rear of the tongue. As the wire harness is inserted note that there
are two single bullet wires towards the front plug of the tongue wire
harness. Pull these wires forward as the wire harness is inserted
into the tongue. Plug the single wires from the side marker lights
installed earlier into the two single bullets of the tongue harness.
Push the additional back into the front of the tongue to keep it from
damage during use. Place a rubber grommet around the wire har-
ness and in the hole in the top of the tongue to protect the wires
from damage during use.
Route the harness plug at the rear of the tongue through the hole
provided in the side of the tongue. Pull both the plug and the white
ground wire out the hole. They will be attached later once the
tongue is installed in the frame.
Locate the safety chains. Place a 3/8” flat washer on a 3/8” x 1-1/4”
hex bolt. Insert the bolt through the last link in the safety chain and
then into the lower hole provided in the front of the tongue. Secure
with a 3/8” flange lock nut. Tighten. Repeat on the other chain.
Place the coupler on the top of the tongue. Align the holes in the
coupler with the holes in the tongue. Place a 1/2” x 4” hex bolt
through the back holes of the coupler and the tongue. Secure with
a 1/2” flange lock nut but do not tighten at this point.
Place a 1/2” x 1” hex bolt through the front hole on one side of the
coupler and the tongue so that the head of the bolt is to the outside.
Place a 1/2” flange lock nut on the bolt inside the tongue. Repeat
this process on the other side of the tongue. Once the bolts are
installed, tighten all nuts left loose at this time.
Insert the tongue assembly through the front channel of the frame
far enough so the rear of the tongue is inserted into the front cross
member. Align the cross hole in the front channel and the tongue
and insert a 3/8” x 4” hex bolt. Secure with a 3/8” flange lock nut.
Place a second 3/8” x 4” hex bolt down through the hole in the rear
of the tongue and the front cross member. Place on a 3/8” flange
lock nut. Tighten.
Connect the tongue wire harness into the side frame harness of
the trailer by matching plugs. Attach the white ground wire of the
tongue harness to the frame using a No. 10 x 3/4” self-tapping
screw provided so that a good ground connection is made between
the frame of the trailer and the tow vehicle. Push all extra wires
used to make the connection back inside either the side frames of
the trailer or else into the tongue. Place a second rubber grommet
into the hole where the wires exit the tongue to protect them from
damage during normal use.
KEEL ROLLER INSTALLATION
Remove the keel roller assembly from the hardware box. Position it
on the back side of the front cross member of the frame as shown
in Detail C. Attach it to the cross member by placing a 1/2” star
washer on a 1/2” x 1-1/4” hex bolt. Align the slot in the keel roller
bracket with the hole provided in the cross member. Insert the bolt
into the hole and attach to the cross member with a 1/2” lock wash-
er and hex nut. Repeat this process on the second bolt used to
attach the keel roller assembly to the cross member.
Repeat the above process on the second keel roller assembly.
The keel roller assembly can be left loose until the boat is placed on
the trailer for final adjustment.
WINCH POST ASSEMBLY
The winch post assembly is pre-assembled and is shipped banded
to the frame. See Diagram C. Place the winch post on the tongue in
the approximate location. Attach to the tongue using three (3) 3/8”
x 4” hex bolts and 3/8” flange lock nuts. It can be left loose until the
boat is placed on the trailer for final adjustment.
Place the winch handle on the drive shaft of the winch by mating
the flat sides of the drive shaft with the punched hole in the winch
handle. Secure the handle to the drive shaft with the 1/2” lock nut
provided. Tighten.
Locate the bow eye safety chain in the hardware box. Place a 3/8”
x 1” carriage bolt into the square hole located in the small winch
bracket as shown in Diagram C. The head of the bolt is to be on the
top of the bracket. Place the chain over the bolt just installed on the
bottom side of the small winch bracket. Secure to the small winch
bracket with a 3/8” flat washer and flange lock nut. Tighten.
