Proper tongue weight must be maintained.
Rev C 8/28/06
Before towing, check the following to ensure
that:
1. All parts, bolts, nuts and wheel lug nuts
are tight.
2. All wheel lug nuts must be tightened to a
minimum torque rating of 85 ft/lb.
3. Lug nuts must be re-torqued after the

WINCH POST ASSEMBLY
The height that the bow eye is placed in your boat will
determine the length winch post required. Once this is
determined, attach the winch base to the tongue with
three 1/2” x 4-1/2” carriage bolts and lock nuts.
Align the holes in the Prole 2000 mounting channel
with the holes in the top of the winch base. Attach the
front of the winch head mounting channel to the base by
to position the bow eye roller just above the bow eye
of your boat. When determined, secure in this position
by placing the bushing as shown in Diagram C inside
the winch base so it aligns with the hole just identied
for the proper adjustment. Insert another 1/2” x 4-1/2”
hex bolt through the determined mounting hole in the
mounting channel and winch base making sure the bolt
passes through the bushing as well. Secure with a 1/2”
lock nut. Tighten all bolts.
placing a 1/2” x 4-1/2” hex bolt through the hole closest
to the front of the winch base. Secure with a lock nut.
Do not tighten.
Note that the winch head can now be rotated either up
or down. Identify the correct hole combination to use

Tire Size and Carrying Capacity Chart
Tire Size ....................... ST185/80R 13-C
GVWR .......................... 2960 lb.
Carrying Capacity ....... 2300 lb.
Axle .............................. Non-Brake
AXLE
Place one of the spring bracket bushings into the rear
of the spring bracket and secure with a 9/16” x 3 1/4”
hex bolt and hex lock nut.
Repeat in other spring bracket.
Refer to the tire side wall for correct tire pressure.
Recommended carrying capacity is based on
shipping weight of the trailer with standard
equipment. Adding optional equipment may
decrease the trailer’s carrying capacity.
SPRINGS
Position the axle so it is properly aligned with the
trailer. Place the springs on the top side of the
spring pads welded to the axle. (See chassis diagram). Note that the hook end of the spring must
be mounted to the rear of the trailer. Place a spring
clamp on the top center of the spring as shown. Next
place the 1/2” x 6-1/2” U-bolts down over the top of
the spring clamp, spring and axle as shown.
Place the spring and axle U-bolt plate onto the ends of
the two U-bolts just placed. Secure in place with 1/2”
lock nuts. Thread onto the U-bolts but do not tighten
securely until the complete unit is in position on the
trailer. Repeat on the other spring.
Position the axle under the frame, then hook the hook
loop of the spring around the bushings just installed.
Note that if the axle is positioned too low when trying
to hook, the hooks will not hook around the bushings.
Raise the front of the springs up so they align with
the front hole of the spring bracket. Secure in place
with 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolts and lock nuts.
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts not tightened
at this time.
TIRE & WHEEL ASSEMBLY
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2”
ne 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 thereafter.

B-SERIES BUNK ASSEMBLY
Locate the two 2 x 6 bunk assemblies. Note that the bunk
mounting brackets are assembled to the bunks at the
factory. Place the end with the two brackets towards the
rear of the trailer. Place the assembly on the equiload bunk
arm and secure by placing a 3/8” x 1” hex bolt through
the bracket on the bunk and the ear on the end of the
equiload arm. Secure in place using a 3/8” lock nut. Repeat
on the other end of the arm. (See Diagram A).
Place the other end of the bunk in the bracket installed on
the front cross member. Note that this bracket is not attached to the bunk because the trailer can be adjusted to two
different lengths. Once the proper position for the rear cross
member is determined, the front of the bunk can now be
attached to the bracket using two- No. 10 x 1-1/4” self
tapping screws as shown in Detail B.
The 3/8” x 1” bolts attaching the bunks to the equiload arms
and front bunk bracket can be tightened but not over tightened
because the bunks should be allowed to rotate slightly to conform to the boat bottom once the boat is set on the trailer.

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
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 placed on it.
Best towing is achieved when the tongue weight is 5-7% of
the total gross load of the complete unit.
Note: Wire harnesses and brake line lines (if equipped with
brakes) will need care when moving the axle assembly.
REAR SUPPORT SYSTEM
Place the boat on the trailer so that the transom is located
at the rear of the support system. On a 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 assembly is adjustable forward or backward to
allow the trailer to be adjusted to various length boats. This is
accomplished by removing the pivot bolt that holds each end
of the rear pivot to the side frame. Reposition the rear pivot
arm into the other hole position predrilled in the side frame.
Reattach the rear pivot to the side frame with the bolts just
removed. Tighten.
The wire harness for the three-light identication light must be
repositioned where it comes from the side frame to the rear
pivot to eliminate slack, and sagging of the wiring.
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.
FRONT SUPPORT SYSTEM
BUNK The front bunks should be adjusted either in or out
so that the bunk will continue to run just to the outside of the
strake of the boat. The bunks can run at an angle rather than
parallel with the center line of the trailer. Adjust the bunks up
so that there is approximately 1-2 inches clearance between
the keel of the boat and the center cross member pad.
WINCH POST
Once 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. It can be moved up or down by
removing the back bolt that mounts the winch head to the
base. When this bolt is removed, the head can be rotated
up or down to reach the desired height required to t your
boat. Once in this position, align the closest pair of holes in
the brackets and reinsert the bolt just removed. Tighten. Attach the winch strap and crank winch tight. Attach the bow
eye safety chain into the bow eye of the boat as well. This is
just another level of protection to keep your boat and trailer
together as one unit.
Adjustments are now complete. Double check your boat for
t. If desired t has been achieved, tighten all fasteners that
may have either been left loose or have been loosened to
do the adjusting.
Note: All nuts and bolts must be tightened before towing.
Recheck all fasteners on the complete trailer to make
sure they are all tight and ready for towing. All fasteners
should be periodically check before towing.
See your ShoreLand’r Owner’s Guide for further technical
information regarding your trailer and its components.
BUNKS Make sure the bunks are positioned far enough
apart to give your boat as much stability as possible while
