ber pad. The boat should be kept as low as possible on the trailer
for better towing but must also be positioned so that the front of the
boat is either level or slightly higher in front that the rear. The boat
will unload easier if the front of the boat is slightly higher than the
rear.
Most boats can be adapted to the trailer without the need of rais-
ing the XR arms higher than the way they are shipped. However,
if need be, they can be raised higher with the use of an optional
SS1000 riser kit.
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-
en 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 periodi-
cally check before towing.
See your ShoreLand’r Owner’s Guide for further technical infor-
mation regarding your trailer and its components.
Recommended carrying capacity is based on shipping weight
of the trailer with standard equipment. Adding optional equip-
ment may decrease the trailer’s carrying capacity.
