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 first 50 miles, then periodically thereafter.

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 Prole 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 identied
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

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 identication 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
