Assembly Instructions - SR-V1831
Swing Tongue:
Install the swing tongue assembly into the tongue channel
of the trailer frame. Thread the tongue harness through
the tongue plate cover. Secure the tongue plate cover
(Ref.#64) and the swing tongue assembly with a 1/2” X 1-
1/2” hex bolt, 1/2” flat washer and 1/2” flange lock nut.
Tighten, but do not over tighten. Match tongue harness
wires with the correct frame harness wires, plug-in. Wiring
is complete.
Safety Chain:
Mount the safety chains to the under side of the swing
tongue on the safety chain mounting bracket using a 1/2”
X 1-1/2” hex bolt. Secure the safety chains to the mount-
ing bracket using a 1/2” flat washer and a 1/2” flange lock
nut per safety chain.
Axle:
Place one of the spring bracket bushings (Ref.#66) into
the rear of the spring shackle and secure with a 9/16” X 3-
1/4” hex bolt (Ref.#18) and a 9/16” lock nut (Ref.#40).
Repeat on the other side. Position the axle under the
frame, then hook the spring loop around the bushing just
installed. Raise the axle assembly up so the front of the
springs line up with the front spring bracket hole. Insert the
other two (2) 9/16” X 3-1/4” and 9/16” lock nuts. Tighten all
nuts and bolts but do not over tighten. Allow the spring
room enough to move.
Mount the tires and rims using 80-90 ft. lbs. torque on lug
nuts using a proper tightening procedure.
Bunk:
Mount and secure the 9’ bunk assemblies onto the 2-7/8”
bunk brackets (Ref.#3) using 3/8” X 1” hex bolts. Tighten
with 3/8” flange lock nuts. Be sure that the bunks are
positioned so that the bunk bracket attached to the bunk
and the bracket attached to the frame are mounted
together so that you have metal to metal stops to keep the
bunks from pivoting too far. Tighten as far as possible but
still allow the bunk to fully pivot side to side.
Winch:
Mount the Profile 2000 winch assembly with jack on the
tongue a desired location that best fits your watercraft
using three (3) 1/2” X 4” carriage bolts and 1/2” flange lock
nuts. Install the winch handle on the Profile 2000 winch
shaft.
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
nuts 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 respective trailer and vehicle
frames.
Trailer Adjustments
Before adjusting the winch post check to see that the
transom of the boat is flush with rear of the bunks.
Place the boat onto the trailer so that it is resting on the
bunks. The transom must be flush with bunks at the rear
of the trailer. Once the boat is positioned as described
above, make the following adjustments.
Winch Post:
Slide the winch post into position. Note that the winch
holder (upper portion) must be positioned just above the
bow eye. Run the winch strap over the upper nylon
bushing in the winch case and secure to bow eye. Tighten
all bolts on the winch post. Slip the bow eye safety chain
into the bow eye. Adjustment is complete. Check the
tongue weight.
