TONGUE BRAKE HOSE CONNECTION
Locate the brass brake line coupling. Remove the plastic cap from the tting on the end of the tongue hose. Thread into one end of the coupling. Remove the hose from the side frame enough to reach into the rear of the tongue. Remove the plastic cap from the tting on the side frame hose, then thread into the other end of the cou­pling. Tighten.
Push the excess hose back inside the tongue so that the coupling just installed is located inside the rear of the tongue.
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.
Place the bolt with chain attached through the hole provided in the bottom front of the actuator mount on the tongue. Place the second chain on the portion of the bolt extending through the other side of the tongue. Place on another 1/2” at washer and hex lock nut. Tighten.
RETRACTABLE TIE DOWNS
Locate the two retractable tie downs. Next locate one of the 7/16” x 1 ½” ne threaded bolts supplied with the retractable tie down. Insert it into the bottom hole on the retractable tie down so the bolt is pointing through the back side of the tie down. Insert the bolt through the hole provided in the taillight bracket just inside the side frame. Secure with the 7/16” ange lock nut. Tighten.
FINAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Remove all banded items and the hardware bag from the frame. Remove the parts and sort by size.
TONGUE
Locate the 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” ange lock nut.
Remove the wire harness from the rear of the tongue. Place the wire harness and the brake hose through the hole provided in the tongue cover plate. 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 a 1/2” lock nut. Tighten both bolts just installed.
Repeat the above process on the other tie down.
WINCH POST ASSEMBLY
Your trailer may have come with the jack already installed on the winch base. However, in the event that it did not, use the following instructions to attach the jack to the winch base before it is installed on the tongue.
ASSEMBLY AND MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS: JACK ON A PROFILE 2000 WINCH BASE
The Prole 2000 winch base used on the 2” x 4” and 2” x 5” frame trailers is formed so that the jack can be mounted directly to it elimi­nating the need for other mounting hardware for attaching the jack to the tongue. The jack required for mounting does not require the mounting base or any of the original mounting hardware compo­nents.
Assemble as follows:
The jack must be mounted to the winch base before it is installed on the trailer tongue. If the winch base is already mounted on the tongue, it will have to be removed for the jack installation.
Locate the hardware bag and sort all items by size.
Lay the Prole 2000 winch base on its side so the side that the jack is going to be mounted on is up.
Place the inside jack spacer on the winch base so the center pro­trusion ts down into the indent in the winch base.
Plug the tongue wire harness ends into the frame harnesses by matching colors and ends. Push the extra wire provided into the
Position the jack mounting plate so it is centered around the inside

the holes in it with the holes in the winch base.
Insert the two ½” and 1 ¼” carriage bolts into the holes just aligned
in the jack retainer plate and the winch base. Secure in place with
½” lock washers and hex nuts. Tighten.
Once tightened, rotate the jack through its normal pivoting range to
make sure it is free to travel and is not binding up.
If jack pivots, place it on the tongue and secure in place with the
bolts and hardware provided with the trailer. Complete the assem-
bly of the winch head to the winch base. Assembly is complete.
WINCH POST INSTALLATION
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 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,
se¬cure in this position by placing the bushing as shown in Dia-
gram D 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.

SPRINGS
Position the axle so it is properly aligned with the trailer and the calipers are on the back side of the axle as shown.
Place the springs on the topside of the spring pads welded to the axle. (See Diagram E). 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 around the axle. Secure 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 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.
ONE AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION
Locate the brake hose coming out of a hole in the inside rear of the side frame near the axle position. Route the hose over to the axle and insert it into the larger outer hole in the brake hose mounting bracket. Route it down to the caliper where it will be attached and remove the plastic cap covering the threaded connection.
Remove the brass plug from the port in the brass block on the right brake caliper. Thread the brake hose just routed down from the side frame into the port where the brass plug was just removed. Tighten.
Over-tightening will permanently damage the internal components
of the brass tting causing the tting to leak.
Place the rubber grommet around the brake hose and insert it
into the hole in the brake hose mounting bracket. The grommet
will protect the hose from abrasion as well as retain it from slid-
ing down while being towed. Enough slack should be left in the
brake hose from the hose mounting clamp and the axle to allow the
axle to move freely without the hose rubbing on the spring or any
other steel part. All additional hose above the brake hose mounting
clamp and the side frame hole can be pushed back into the side
frame for protection from the elements.
In the event that the axle position is at some distance from the hole
in the side frame where the brake hose is routed from, two addi-
tional hose mounting clamps and self-tapping screws are provided
to attach the brake hose to the inside of the side frame. Bend the
open end of the hose mounting clamps open far enough so the
hose can be slide inside the clamp. Once the hose is inside, bend
the clamps back shut so it forms around the brake hose. Position
the two clamps on the inside of the side frame spaced so there is
an equal distance between the hole where the brake hose comes
out of the side frame and the brake hose mounting clamp. Using
the self-tapping screws, drill them into the side frame to secure the
clamps in place. Tighten until the screws are fully in. This will grip
the brake hose and keep it from moving.
All bleeding to the line can be done through the bleeders on the
calipers
Fill the actuator reservoir with brake uid and bleed the line per the
instructions in the brake manual.
TIRE & WHEEL ASSEMBLIES
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2” ne thread-
ed tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to 85-95 ft/lb. of torque us-
ing the rotation pattern as shown in the ShoreLandr’s Owners
Manual. Re-torque the lug nuts after 50 miles of driving and then
periodi¬cally thereafter.
Hand-tighten the tting on the end of the frame brake hose to the side tting of the brake caliber.
Fit the axle brake hose to the bottom tting on the brake caliber. Use a wrench to tighten 1/4 turn. Repeat on other side of axle.
Bleed system. If the connection leaks, tighten only enough to stop the leak.

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.
Wire harnesses and brake line lines 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 transom of the boat should be with­in 1-2” of the end of the bunks.
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 to the outside of a strake. The bunk positioning is a pre-determined position that will work best for your particular boat.
WINCH POST
The winch post is pre-adjusted to t the boat. If it does not, use the
following instructions to adjust to properly t your boat.
Once all other adjustments are complete the winch post can be ad-
justed. 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.
Check the boat to make sure it is in the desired location forward
and backward on the trailer. If location is as instructed above, tight-
en the three bolts in the winch base securing the winch base to the
tongue.
Once all adjustments are complete and checked, connect to the
tow vehicle to make sure all of the lights are operating properly and
match the tow vehicle.
Re-check all fasteners on the complete trailer to make sure they
are all tight and ready for towing. All fasteners should be periodi-
cally check before towing.
See your ShoreLand’r Owner’s Guide for further technical infor-
mation regarding your trailer and its components.
FRONT SUPPORT SYSTEM
Bunks
Adjust the bunks up so that there is approximately 1-2 inches clear­ance between the keel of the boat and the front cross member pad.
