transporting. Position the bunks so they are located
just to the outside of a strake that your boat may have.
This will help center your boat and assist when loading.
The bunks need to be adjusted up high enough to keep
the keel from resting on the center pads. A minimum of
one to two inches of clearance is desirable.
Rollers
Position the roller racks so they are far enough apart to
give your boat stability while transporting. When the
desired width is achieved, move the roller rack system
so that one set of the rollers are just to the outside of a
strake if possible. The rollers need to be adjusted so
that you have a minimum of one to two inches of
clearance between the keel of the boat and the center
cross member pads. This will help center the boat
when loading and unloading.
When the desired position is determined, tighten only
enough to hold the bunks or rollers from moving while
the other adjustments are being made. Final tightening
will be done at the end of the adjusting process.
Front Support System
RB and Roller
The keel of the boat must rest on the center of the front
keel roller system creating a three-point support
system. The keel roller system is designed to fit most
boats without needing any further adjustment.
Once the boat is positioned on the front roller system,
the stabilizer pads can be adjusted. This is
accomplished by sliding the pad up against the boat
bottom by hand. It is not necessary that they carry
much weight. They are designed to give your boat
added stability while being towed. It may be necessary
to adjust the assembly up so that they can be moved
further apart giving additional support. Pull the
assembly away from the boat. Place the U-bolt that
holds the assembly to the cross member in a lower
hole in the bracket. Then push the assembly back
against the boat. Tighten in position.
Winch Post
Now that all other adjustments are complete the winch
post can be adjusted. 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. Loosen the three 1/2” hex bolts that clamp the
winch holder channel to the winch post. Attach the
winch strap into the bow eye and slide the winch holder
channel up or down to the desired position as you
crank the winch tight. Once the bow roller is located
just above the bow eye, tighten the three 1/2” hex bolts that
clamp the winch holder channel to the winch post. Tighten
the U-bolts that secure the winch post assembly to the
tongue. Attach the bow eye safety chain into the bow eye of
the boat as well. The chain is another level of unit the event
of an accident. It may also be used to keep your boat on the
trailer while loading and unloading at the ramp; especially
with a roller trailer.
Adjustments are now complete. Double check your boat for
fit. If desired fit has been achieved, tighten all fasteners that
may have either been left loose or have been loosened to do
the adjusting.
Re-check all fasteners on the complete trailer to make sure
they are all tight and ready for towing. All fasteners should
be periodically checked before towing. 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.
See your ShoreLand’r Owner’s Guide for further technical
information regarding your trailer and its components.
