Refer to the tire side wall for correct tire pressure.
side marker lights shipped in the hardware box. Uncoil the wire and
insert the plug end into the larger, center hole that is drilled in the
side of the tongue. As the wire is inserted into the hole direct the
wire so that it will go to the forward end of the tongue. Pull the wire
out the front of the tongue. It will be connected to the tongue harness at a later time. Attach the light to the tongue using two (2) No.
10 x 3/4” self-tapping screws provided. Repeat this process on the
other light on the other side of the tongue.
Wire Harness
Locate the tongue wire harness. Insert the end of the harness with
the small plug into the hole located in the top of the tongue. Pull
the wire backward through the tongue until the end comes out the
rear of the tongue. As the wire harness is inserted note that there
are two single bullet wires towards the front plug of the tongue wire
harness. Pull these wires forward as the wire harness is inserted
into the tongue. Plug the single wires from the side marker lights
installed earlier into the two single bullets of the tongue harness.
Push the additional back into the front of the tongue to keep it from
damage during use. Place a rubber grommet around the wire harness and in the hole in the top of the tongue to protect the wires
from damage during use.
Route the harness plug at the rear of the tongue through the hole
provided in the side of the tongue. Pull both the plug and the white
ground wire out the hole. They will be attached later once the
tongue is installed in the frame.
TONGUE ASSEMBLY - Part One
Place the frame to be assembled on saw horses or stands to assist
in the assembly. Remove all items that are banded to the frame.
Sort the items in the hardware box by item and the hardware by
size.
Bolt-On Tongue Stand
Locate the bolt on tongue stand. Look at the bottom side of the
tongue and locate the slotted key slot hole in the tongue. Note that
one end of the tongue stand has a dart or arrow shaped end. With
the tongue stand positioned 90 degrees to the centerline of the
tongue, insert the dart or arrow end of the tongue stand into the key
slotted hole. Once it is inserted, turn the tongue stand 90 degrees
so that it now is in line with the centerline of the tongue. Attach the
front end of the tongue stand to the tongue using a 1/2” x1” hex bolt
and ange lock nut. Tighten.
Safety Chains
Locate the safety chains. Place a 3/8” at washer on a 3/8” x 1-1/4”
hex bolt. Insert the bolt through the last link in the safety chain,
3/8” at washer and then into the lower hole provided in the front of
the tongue. Secure with a 3/8” ange lock nut on the inside of the
tongue. Tighten. Repeat on the other chain.
Coupler
Place the coupler on the top of the tongue. Align the holes in the
coupler with the holes in the tongue. Place a 1/2” x 4” hex bolt
through the back holes of the coupler and the tongue. Secure with
a 1/2” ange lock nut but do not tighten at this point.
Place a 1/2” x 1” hex bolt through the front hole on one side of the
coupler and the tongue so that the head of the bolt is to the outside.
Place a 1/2” ange lock nut on the bolt inside the tongue. Repeat
this process on the other side of the tongue. Once the bolts are
installed, tighten all nuts left loose at this time.
Locate the tongue for the trailer. Note that there are two different
lengths of tongues designed to t this particular frame. The length
of tongue will determine the length of boat that can be placed on
the trailer when assembled. The 8’-6” tongue will t boats 12’-14’
feet in length and the 10’ tongue is used for boats 14’-16’ long.
Tongue Assembly - Part Two
Insert the tongue assembly through the front channel of the frame
far enough so the rear of the tongue is inserted into the front cross
member. Align the cross hole in the front channel and the tongue
and insert a 3/8” x 4” carriage bolt. Secure with a 3/8” ange lock
nut. Place a second 3/8” x 4” carriage bolt down through the hole in
Once the proper tongue is identied place it on the stands so it can
be prepared for installation into the frame. Locate the two amber
the rear of the tongue and the front cross member. Place on a 3/8”
ange lock nut. Tighten.

Connect the tongue wire harness into the side frame harness of
the trailer by matching plugs. Attach the white ground wire of the
tongue harness to the frame using a No. 10 x 3/4” self-tapping
screw provided so that a good ground connection is made between
the frame of the trailer and the tow vehicle. Push all extra wires
used to make the connection back into the tongue. Place a second
rubber grommet into the hole where the wires exit the tongue to
protect them from damage during normal use.
BUNK BRACKETS AND BUNKS
Locate the bunk brackets. See Detail C. Note that the front bunk
brackets are located on the front of the crossmember while the rear
bunk brackets are located on the rear of the cross member. Choose
a pair of holes for the bunk location. Attach the bunk brackets to the
cross members using 3/8” x 1” carriage bolts, lock washers and hex
nuts. Hand tighten only because they will have to be adjusted when
the boat is placed on the trailer.
WINCH POST ASSEMBLY
The winch post assembly is pre-assembled and is shipped banded
to the frame. See Diagram C. Place the winch post on the tongue in
the approximate location. Attach to the tongue using three (3) 3/8”
x 4” hex bolts and 3/8” ange lock nuts. It can be left loose until the
boat is placed on the trailer for nal adjustment.
Place the winch handle on the drive shaft of the winch by mating
the at sides of the drive shaft with the punched hole in the winch
handle. Secure the handle to the drive shaft with the 1/2” lock nut
provided. Tighten.
AXLE & WHEEL ASSEMBLY
Locate the axle for the trailer. Note that there isn’t a right or left to
the axle assembly. Place one of the springs on top of the spring pad
welded to the axle. Drop two (2) 3/8” x 2 3/16” x 1-3/4” U-bolts over
the springs and down through the holes in the spring pad. Secure
with 3/8” ange lock nuts. Repeat this process on the other spring
mounting it so that it is oriented on the axle the same as the rst
spring.
Slip a spring bushing spacer into the rear of the spring bracket,
align the bushing with the hole in the bracket and secure in position
using a 1/2” x 3” hex bolt and 1/2” ange lock nut. Tighten. Repeat
on the other spring bracket.
Slide the axle assembly under the trailer frame, raise up and slide
the rear of the springs above the bushings just installed. Rotate the
assembly up until the front spring eyes align with the front holes in
the spring bracket. Insert a 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt and secure with
a 9/16” lock nut. Tighten. Tighten the U-bolt attaching the springs
to the axles at this time and any other bolts that may have been left
loose for ease of assembly.
Position the bunks so that they are above the bunk brackets just
installed. Note that the mounting brackets attached to the bunks
are not centered on the bunks but are off center 4 inches. They
can be installed either direction. Positioning them so the extra bunk
is to the rear will allow you to put a longer boat on the trailer. This
adjustment may also be critical when trying to establish the correct
tongue weight.
Attach the bunks to the brackets using 3/8” x 1” carriage bolts and
ange lock nuts. Tighten but do not over tighten because the bunks
must be allowed to rotate at this point so they will conform to the
boat when it is placed on the trailer.
FRONT SUPPORT PAD
Install the front support pad to the trailer tongue by placing the legs
of the pad support mounting bracket down over the tongue. Secure
in place by placing two- 3/8” x 4” carriage bolts through the pad
support mounting bracket, one on top of the tongue and the other
on the bottom. See Diagram B. Secure with 3/8” ange lock nuts.
Do not tighten at this point because they will be re-adjusted when
the boat is placed on the trailer.
Place the tire and wheel assemblies on the hubs and secure with
the 1/2” tapered lug nuts.
TIRE & WHEEL ASSEMBLIES
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2” ne threaded
tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to 85-95 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.

TRAILER ADJUSTMENTS
Place the boat on the trailer so that the transom of the boat is positioned at the rear of the bunks.
WINCH POST
Once the boat is in the desired location and correct height on the
trailer the winch post can now be adjusted.
Check the boat for clearance with the frame and tongue. Enough
clearance is required between the two so that the boat does not
contact the frame during loading and unloading.
ADJUST AS FOLLOWS:
Pull the boat on the trailer. As you pull the boat on the trailer check
to make sure the bunks are high enough and close enough to keep
the keel of the boat from hitting the cross members as it is loaded
and unloaded. However, it is very important that they are spaced as
far apart as possible because the farther they are spaced apart, the
more stable your boat will be on the trailer when towing. Allow the
boat to rest on the front support pad on the tongue and the bunks.
BUNK ADJUSTMENT
Once the boat clears the cross members the bunks must be
checked that they are properly spaced. If they aren’t, they can be
adjusted either in or out by moving the bunk brackets to a new
set of holes provided in the cross members. The bunks must be
spaced equal distances from the centerline of the trailer. When the
proper location is achieved, tighten the nuts and bolts holding the
bunk brackets to the frame.
ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENTS
The bunks can also be adjusted for height in case additional clearance is needed for either the cross members or fenders.
The bunks can be positioned so the extra bunk past the mounting brackets is either forward or backward. This adjustment can
be used to either obtain proper tongue weight or else give better
support to longer boats.
FRONT SUPPORT PAD
The front support pad can be adjusted anywhere forward or back-
ward on the tongue to best t and support your boat. It can also be
adjusted for height in the event you need it adjusted higher to reach
your boat keel. Once adjusted in the proper location, tighten the
mounting bolts and nuts.
Slide the winch post on the tongue until it contacts the boat. Note
that the V-block on the winch post must be positioned directly
above the boat bow eye. This location is necessary to prevent the
boat from sliding forward during normal use as well as in the event
of a sudden stop. This positioning will also allow the winch strap
to pull directly from the winch into the bow eye for better retention.
Change the bow stop height by removing the bolts attaching it to
the winch post. Relocate to the proper height and refasten with the
bolts just removed. Note that the winch may have to be moved as
well to accomplish the height change.
Once the winch post is set secure the winch post to the tongue with
the three mounting bolts used to attach it to the tongue.
The axle is not adjustable on this model trailer. To change the
tongue will require you to place the additional gear in the boat in
the correct location. Moving the added weight forward or backward
will change the tongue weight.
A recommended tongue weight for your trailer is 7-10% of the total
load including boat, motor, and trailer.
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.
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.
Re-check 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.
