TONGUE
The tongue is shipped separate of the frame. Locate the appropriate tongue and install by sliding it in the front of the tongue channel.
Line the holes in the tongue with the holes in the tongue channel. Install the 1/2” x 4” hex bolt in the front cross hole and secure with a 1/2” lock nut.
Remove the wire harness from the rear of the tongue. Place the wire harness and the brake line through the hole pro­vided in the tongue cover plate. See Detail A in Diagram A.
Secure the tongue cover plate in position with the same 1/2” x 1-1/2” hex bolt that secures the back on the tongue to the tongue channel of the frame. Secure with 1/2” lock nut. Tighten both bolts just installed.
Plug the tongue wire harness ends into the frame harnesses by matching colors and ends. Push the extra wire provided either into the rear of the tongue or else remove the grom­met in the side frame and place the extra wire in the side frame. Replace grommet just removed.
WHITE GROUND WIRE INSTALLATION
Place the self-tapping screw provided through the round metal ring on the white ground wire of the tongue harness located at the rear of the tongue. Attach the ground wire to the main frame by driving the screw in the hole provided next to the tongue channel of the frame. This will assure a positive ground for the lighting.
SAFETY CHAINS
Locate the 1/2” x 5” hex bolt. Slip the bolt through a 1/2” at washer, then place through the last link of one of the safety chains. Slide through actuator housing and tongue. Slide
other safety chain over bolt and add a 1/2” at washer. Se­cure with a 1/2” ange lock nut. See Diagram B.
Assembly is complete.
BRAKE LINE
Locate the brass brake line coupling. Remove the plastic cap and thread the brake line coming out the rear of the tongue into one end of the coupling. Bend the line in a smooth grad­ual radius being careful not to kink the line. Bend so it can be mated to the brake line from the side frame. Once aligned, thread the side frame brake line into the other end of the coupling. Tighten both lines into the coupling.

WINCH POST ASSEMBLY
The height that the bow eye is placed in your boat will deter­mine the length of winch post required. Once this is deter­mined, attach the winch base to the tongue with three 1/2” x 4” 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 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 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.

Place the springs on the top side of the spring pads welded to the axle. (See chassis Diagram D). 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 installed. 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.
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.
Position the axle under the frame, then hook the loop end of the spring around the bushings just installed. Note that if the axle is positioned too low when trying to hook, the loops 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 3­1/4” hex bolts and lock nuts.

Refer to the tire side wall for correct tire pressure.
SPRINGS
Position the axle so it is properly aligned with the trailer and the brake calipers are located on the back side of the axle. (See Diagram D).
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts not tightened at this time.
ONE AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION
Cut the tape securing the brake line hose to the axle. Re­move the brass plug from the port in the brass block on the right brake caliper. Thread in the male end of the brake hose and tighten to 6-8 ft. lb. or else 72-96 in. lb. of torque.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Over tightening will cause the brass block to crack and then leak.
Place the other end of the hose through the hole in the brake line clip bracket and secure with the U-shaped hose clip pro­vided.
Remove the plastic cap from the end of the frame brake line coming out of the side frame.
Uncoil the brake line so that it reaches the end of the hose just attached to the brake line clip bracket. Thread the brake
line tting into the brake line
hose. Tighten.
NOTE: The axle has brake uid installed in the calipers and
the axle line when it is assembled at the factory. This is done to protect the inner parts of the brake system during ship­ping and storage. The complete brake system including the axle MUST be re-bled to ensure that all air has been re­moved from the brake system.For bleeding instructions see the UFP Brake Bleeding Manual or else the ShoreLand’r Disc Brake Manual.
Fill the actuator reservoir with brake uid and bleed the line
per the instructions in the Brake Manual.

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 crossmember 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.
The bunks must be allowed to rotate slightly to conform to the boat bottom once the boat is set on the trailer.

TIRE & WHEEL ASSEMBLY
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2” ne
threaded tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to 85-95 ft./lb. torque using the rotation pattern as shown in the Shore- Landr’s Owners Manual.
Re-torque the lug nuts after 50 miles driving and then peri­odically thereafter.
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:
BUNKS Make sure the bunks are positioned far enough apart to give your boat as much stability as possible while transporting. Position the bunks so they are located just the outside of a strake that your boat may have. This will help center your boat and assist when loading. The bunks need be adjusted up high enough to keep the keel from resting on the center pads. A minimum of one to two inches clearance is desir­able.
FRONT BUNK SUPPORT 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. 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.
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. 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 cross member is adjustable forward or backward to allow the trailer to be adjusted to various length boats on all models except the XLW. This is accomplished by removing the pivot bolt on 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.
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.
The 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 the 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.
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.
Recheck 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.
See your ShoreLand’r Owner’s Guide for further technical information regarding your trailer and its components.
