Tire and Wheel Assemblies
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2” fine
threaded tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to 80-90 ft/lb.
of torque using the rotation pattern as shown in the
ShoreLandr’s Owners Manual. Re-torque the lug nuts
after 50 miles of driving and then periodically
Connecting the Two Axles Together and To the
Actuator
Locate the brass tee and the 18” brake hose. Thread the
male port of the tee into the female end of the brake hose
route the hose thru the clip on the back of the spring
bracket to the rear axle. Tighten.
Remove the plastic cap from the end of the frame brake
line coming out of the side frame by the axle. Carefully
pull the brake hose enough so that it will reach the port of
the tee just threaded into the brake hose. Thread the
brake hose fitting into the top port of
the tee and tighten.
Locate the 60” brake hose. Thread one end of the hose
into the remaining port of the tee installed in the previous
step. Route the hose thru the front brake line clip and
insert into the caliper on the second axle. Place a coil in
the line to use up any excess line and then connect the
hose to the side frame using clips and self tapping
screws to keep the hose from being damaged. Tighten all
fittings. Note that the coil in the line will absorb the vibration
created during towing.
Bleeding the Brake System
Bleed the brake system as specified in the brake manual.
The bleeding process is necessary to remove ALL air
entrapped in the system in order for the brake system to
function properly.
Trailer Adjustments
The adjustment of the trailer to your boat is very important
not only for the trailer, but also the boat. Failure to do so
may lead to potential failure or damage to either the trailer
or boat.
Adjust as follows:
Axle Adjustment
The amount of tongue weight on your trailer can be
adjusted as follows:
To lower the tongue weight, adjust the axle assembly
forward. To increase the tongue weight, adjust the axle
assembly backward.
The distance that the axle assembly has to be moved will
vary because it is directly related to the weight and center
of gravity of the boat place on it.
Best towing is achieved when the tongue weight is 5- 7% of
the total gross load of the complete unit.
To move the axle assembly, loosen the U-bolts that secure
the assembly to the side frames. Move the assembly to the
desired location then re-tighten the U-bolts.
Note: The brake line and wire harness will need care when
moving the assembly.
Rear Support System
Place the boat on the trailer so that the transom is located
at the rear of the support system. On an RB bunk trailer, the
transom of the boat should be within 1-2” of the end of the
bunk. The center of the rear rollers on the roller rack should
be approximately 4” from the transom. This gives you
maximum support on the transom. The rear pivot is
adjustable forward and backward to assist in adjusting the
trailer to various length boats. This is accomplished by
removing the pivot bolt that attaches the rear pivot to the
side frame and then sliding the assembly to the desired
position and re-attaching with the pivot bolt just removed.
The wire harness for the three-light identification light will
have to be rerouted as well.
RB Bunks
Make sure the bunks are positioned far enough apart to
give your boat as much stability as possible while
