Remove the small parts from the frame by cutting the
bands. Remove the bolt bag and sort all nuts and
bolts by size.
Tongue:
Install tongue into nose cone of trailer frame.
Thread tongue harness through the tongue cover.
Secure the tongue plate cover (Ref.#58) and rear of
the tongue with a 1/2” X 1-1/2” hex bolt, 1/2” flat
washer and hex lock nut. Secure the front of the
tongue channel to the tongue with a 1/2” X 4” hex bolt
and 1/2” flange lock nut. Tighten both bolts. Tighten
bolts but do not over tighten. Match tongue harness
wires with the correct frame harness wires and plug-
in. Ground the grounding wire (white wire with ring) to
the tongue cap plate using a 1/4” X 3/4” self drill
screw. Wiring is complete.
Safety Chain:
Insert 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 3/8” flat washer and 3/8”

Final Assembly Instructions
Axle:
Place one of the spring bushings (Ref.#60) into the
rear of the spring bracket and secure with a 9/16” X
3-1/4” hex bolt and lock nut. Position the axle under
the frame, then hook the spring loop around the
bushing already installed. Raise the axle assembly
up so that the front of the springs line up with the front
spring bracket hole. Insert the two (2) 9/16” X 3-1/4”
hex bolts and lock nuts. Tighten all nuts and bolts but
do not tighten. Allow the spring room enough to
move.
Mount the tire and rim using 80-90 ft. lbs. torque on
lug nuts using a proper tightening procedure.
Bunk Assembly:
Mount the bunk assemblies to the fixed bunk
bracket on the frame using 3/8” X 1” hex bolts and
secure with 3/8” flange lock nuts.
!Caution!
1. To prevent damage to the water vehicle hull,
place the water vehicle on the trailer, loosen the 3/8”
X 1” hex bolts so that the bunks conform to the hull of
the water vehicle. Tighten the 3/8” X 1” hex bolts. (Do
not overtighten - bunks must pivot.)
2. To prevent damage to the trailer, water vehicle
or towing vehicle, tighten all nuts and bolts before
towing.
3. The law requires that the white wire on both the
tongue and tow vehicle wire harness be grounded to
the trailer and towing vehicle.
