Final Assembly Instructions
Remove the small parts from the frame by cutting the bands. Remove
the bolt bag and sort all nuts and bolts by size.
Tongue:
Remove the tongue assembly from the frame bundle and install into
the tongue channel and secure with a 1/2” 4” hex bolt in the side of the
tongue and tongue channel. Secure with a 1/2” flange lock nut.
Tongue Wires:
Install the tongue wire harness through the top forward wire hole and
exit the rear of the tongue channel on the frame. Install grommets and
plug the tongue wire into the frame harness by color.
Place the tongue cover over the rear of the tongue channel and secure
with a1/2 x 1 1/2” hex bolt and a 1/2” flat washer and 1/2” flange lock
nut.
Safety Chain:
Insert a 3/8” X 1-1/4” hex bolt with a 3/8” flat washer and safety chain
through the lower hole on the front of the tongue. Secure with a 3/8” flat
washer and 3/8” flange lock nut. Repeat the procedure on the opposite
side of the tongue.
Coupler:
Mount the coupler onto the tongue with one (1) 1/2” X 4” hex bolt into
the rear of the coupler and tongue and using two (2) 1/2” X 1” hex bolts
into the two (2) front holes on the coupler and tongue. Secure with 1/2”
flange lock nuts.
Winch:
Secure the winch post to the tongue with three (3) 3/8” X 4” hex bolts
and 3/8” flange lock nuts. Mount the winch handle to the winch using
the special nut provided. Tighten with winch post in a location that best
fits your water craft.
Axle and Wheel Assembly
Locate the axle for the trailer. Note that there is not a right or left to the
axle assembly. Place one of the springs on top of the spring pad welded
to the axle. Drop two (2) 3/8” x 2-3/16” x 2” U-bolts over the springs and
down through the holes in the spring pad. Secure with 3/8” flange lock
nuts. Repeat this process on the other spring mounting it so that it is
oriented on the axle the same as the first spring.
Slip a spring bushing spacer into the rear of the spring bracket, align
the bushing with the hole in the bracket and secure in position using a
1/2” x 3” hex bolt and 1/2” flange lock nut. Tighten. Repeat on the other
spring bracket.
Slide the axle assembly under the trailer frame, raise up and slide the
rear of the springs above the bushings just installed. Rotate the as-
sembly up until the front spring eyes align with the front holes in the
spring bracket. Insert a 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt and secure with a 9/16”
lock nut. Tighten. Tighten the U-bolt attaching the springs to the axles
at this time and any other bolts that may have been left loose for ease
of assembly.
Place the tire and wheel assemblies on the hubs and secure with the
1/2” tapered lock nuts.
Bunk:
Mount the adjustable bunk brackets with the adjustable bunk clamps to
the crossmembers in a location that would best fit your watercraft. Se-
cure with 1/2” X 3-9/16” X 3” square U-bolts and 1/2” flange lock nuts.
Secure the bunk assemblies to the adjustable bunk brackets just in-
stalled using 3/8” X 1” hex bolts and 3/8” flange lock nuts.
Refer to parts drawing on page 2 for placement.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN - The bunks must pivot freely to conform
to the boats hull.
Tire and Wheel Assemblies
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2” fine threaded ta-
pered lug nuts provided. Tighten to 80-90 ft/lb. of torque using the rota-
tion pattern as shown in the ShoreLandr’s Owners Manual. Re-torque
the lug nuts after 50 miles of driving and then periodically
thereafter.
Adjustments:
Winch:
Once the boat is positioned on the trailer, adjust the winch post to the
boat, adjust the winch post to the boat. Adjust the bow stop bracket so
that the rubber bow stop is just above the bow eye.
Loadguides
With the boat loaded and centered on the trailer. Secure the loadguides
using the hardware in bag 60537 which has been banded to the frame
bundle. Open bag sort parts, place loadguide on frame over the holes
provided in the rear section of the frame and insert 3/8 x 4” carriage
bolts into the square hole in the bracket and thru the frame. Secure with
a washer and 3/8” flange locknut. Repeat this process until all four bolts
are in place and then tighten these bolts and nuts securely.
