SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4810709
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
first 50 miles, then periodically there
after.
4. Tires are inflated to manufacturer’s
standards. (See tire sidewall)
5. Wheel bearings have adequate
grease.
6. Hitch ball is the proper diameter and
has a rating equal to or greater than
the GVWR of the trailer.
7. Coupler is properly attached and
secured to coupler ball.
8. Trailer safety chains are crossed
under the tongue and attached to
towing vehicle.
9. All lights are operational. Note: It is
recommended that the trailer lights
be disconnected before backing into
the water.
10. Tie downs, winch strap and bow eye safety chain are secure.
11. Trailer tongue jack is in up or travel
position.
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 1-1/4” hex bolt. Slip the bolt through
a 1/2” at washer, then place through the last link of one
of the safety chains. Place a second at washer on the
bolt and insert through the hole as shown in Diagram
B. Secure with a 1/2” .ange lock nut. Tighten. Repeat
this process on the second safety chain on the opposite side of the tongue.
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
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 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 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.

ROCKER ARMS
Locate the rocker arms (Ref. No. 6 of Detail A in Diagram D. Note that the center bushing has a grease
zerk in it.Position the rocker arms up into the center
channel welded in the center of the tandem spring
bracket so that the grease zerk is pointing down. Align
the holes in the channel with the rocker arm. Secure in
place with a 3/4” x 4-1/2” hex bolt and lock nut. Tighten. Repeat this process on the other rocker arm and
spring bracket. Grease the rocker at this time by applying grease through the zerk just discussed.
NOTE: The grease zerk is positioned down so that
it is accesible for servicing when needed.
SPRINGS
Position the axles so they are properly aligned with the
trailer. Position the brake axle so that the disc brake
calipers are on the back side of the axle. The brake
axle must always be mounted as the rear axle to give
you the best braking possible (See Diagram D. There
is no right and left to the axle without brakes. It can be
mounted either way.
Place the springs on the topside of the spring pads
welded to the axle. (See chassis diagram). Note that
the hook end of the spring must be 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.
AXLE
Place one of the spring bracket bushings into the rear
of the spring bracket and secure with a 9/16” x 31/4” hex bolt and hex lock nut. Repeat in other spring
bracket. Position the rear axle under the frame, then
hook the loop of the springs 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
rear hole in the axle boogie just installed. Secure in
place with 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolts and lock nuts.
Install another spring bracket bushing in the front hole
on the rock arm assemblies. Secure with a 9/16” x 31/4” hex bolt and lock nut. Tighten.
Midwest Industries, Inc. Ida Grove, IA 51445 800.859.3028 www.shorelandr.com 0003453
Page 9 REV A 9/26/06
Hook the hook end of the springs mounted to the front
axle over the bushing just installed in the rocker arm
assembly. Then swing the front of the spring up and
attach the front mounting hole in the spring bracket
with another 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt and lock nut.
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts.
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 brake
hose male end and tighten to either 6-8 ft. lb. or 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 up through
the hole provided in the brake line clip bracket. Secure
in place with the U-shaped hose clip provided.
Over tightening will cause the brass block to crack and
then leak.
Attach the brake hoses from the axles to the spring
bracket with the U-shaped hose clip. Once the brake
hoses are secured in place the lines can be attached.
Identify which brake line hose that the side frame
brake line tubing will be connected to. In a dual axle
installation it can connected to either one. When iden-
tied, locate the brass tee connector. Screw the male
port of the tee into the brake line hose. Tighten.
Next connect the side frame brake line into the top port
on the tee. Connect the two axles together using the
40” brake line supplied. Thread one end of the line into
the brass tee just installed. Route the line over to the
other axle, form a loop in the line and then connect the
other end into the brake line hose for the second axle.
Tighten to either 6-8 ft. lb. or 72-96 in. lb. of torque.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN
Remove the plastic cap from the end of the frame
brake line coming out of the side frame by the axle.
Carefully uncoil the brake line so that it will reach the
end of the hose just attached to the brake line 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 the ShoreLand’r Disc Brake Manual.
Fill the actuator reservoir with brake uid and bleed
the line per the instructions in the Brake Manual.
DUAL AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION
If your trailer is equipped with dual axle brakes connect the line to the axle as follows:
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 the brake hose male
end into the block and tighten to either 6-8 ft. lb. or 7296 in. lb. of torque.
Over tightening will cause the brass block to crack and
then leak.
NOTE: The axles have brake uid installed in the cali-
pers and the axle lines when they are 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 the ShoreLand’r Disc Brake Manual.
Fill the actuator reservoir with brake uid and bleed
the line per the instructions in the Brake Manual.
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 ShoreLandr ’s Owners Manual. Re-torque the
lug nuts after 50 miles driving and then periodically
thereafter.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN

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.

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 will need
care when moving the axle assembly.
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.
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.
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. 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. 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 identication light
must be repositioned where it comes from the side
frame to the rear pivot to eliminate slack, and sagging
of the wiring.
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.
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.
