FINAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the hardware bag from the frame. Remove the parts and sort by size.
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 (If equipped with brakes) through the hole provided in the tongue cover plate. (See Detail F).
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.
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.
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.
SAFETY CHAINS
Locate the 1/2” x 5” hex bolt. Slip the bolt through a 1/2” flat wash­er, then place through the last link of one of the safety chains provided.
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” flat washer and hex lock nut. Tighten.

SPARE TIRE BRACKET
The first step in mounting the spare tire bracket is to determine the cor­rect orientation of the trailer. Standing at the rear of the trailer and look­ing forward, your right hand is the right-hand side of the trailer.
Mount the spare tire bracket on the right-hand side frame of your trailer at a location somewhere between the very front of the frame and the first cross member. The exact positioning is dependant upon the size and style of your boat.
Once identified, attach the spare tire bracket to the side frame using the U-bolts provided in the kit. Note that the spare tire bracket is de­signed to fit both 2” x 4” and 2” x 5” side frames. Use the 1/2” x 4-9/16” x 3-1/2” U-bolt when mounting to the 2” x 4” side frame and the 1/2” x 5-9/16” x 3” U-bolts when mounting to the 2” x 5” side frame.

Place the U-bolts over the side frame in the desired location. Match the holes in the spare tire bracket with the U-bolts just placed over the side frame. Slide the spare tire bracket over the U-bolts. Secure using 1/2” lockwashers and hex nuts. Tighten when desired loca­tion is achieved.
The spare tire bracket is designed to fit a 5 bolt on 4.5” bolt circle pattern wheel. Note that there are only three stud bolts in the spare tire bracket which are sufficient to carry the tire and wheel assem­bly. Align the three studs with the holes in the wheel assembly and secure the wheel assembly to the spare tire bracket with three- 1/2” tapered lug nuts provided in the kit. Tighten securely to make sure the wheel assembly does not come loose and fall off while trans­porting the trailer.
Installation is complete.

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 Profile 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 Detail J inside the winch base so it aligns with the hole just identified 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. 5 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 1/2” 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 back­side of the axle. The brake axle must always be mounted as the rear axle to give you the best braking possible. 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 U­bolts. 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 rear 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 rear hole in the axle boogie just installed. Attach with 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolts and lock nuts.
Next install another spring bracket bushing in the front hole on the rock arm assembly. Attach with a 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt and lock nut. Tighten.
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 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 brake hose male end and tighten. Place the other end of the hose up through the hole provided in the brake line clip brack­et. Secure in place with the hose clip provided. (Item No. 64)
Remove the plastic cap from the end of the frame brake line tubing coming out of the side frame exit hole. Carefully uncoil the brake line so that it will reach the end of the hose just attached to the brake line clip bracket. Thread the brake line fitting into the brake line hose. Tighten. All bleeding to the line can be done through the bleeder on the right caliper.
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. Attach the brake hoses from the axles to the spring bracket with the brake line clip brackets as shown in Diagram D. Once the brake hoses are secured in place with the hose clips (Ref. No. 31) 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 identified, locate the brass tee connector. Screw the male port of the tee into a 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.
Fill the actuator reservoir with brake fluid and bleed the line per the instructions in the brake manual. Note that the axle is already bled at the factory during assembly. All bleeding to the line can be done through the bleeder on the right caliper.
TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLIES
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2” fine 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 short and two long 2 x 6 bunk assemblies. The long bunks are to be mounted to the inside of the rear mounting arms and attach to the front cross member with the brackets provided while the short bunks will attach to the rear mounting arm only. (See Diagram A on page 2). Note that the bunk mounting brackets are assembled to the bunks at the factory. Place the end of the long bunk assemblies 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). Do not tighten until assembly is complete.
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 on Diagram A.
Attach the two short bunk assemblies to the outside of the rear equiload arms using 3/8” x 1” hex bolts similar to the long inside bunks.
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.
AXLE ADJUSTMENT
The amount of tongue weight on your trailer can be adjusted as follows:
WINCH POST
Now that 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 fit 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.
INSTALLING THE REAR STEPS
Once all other adjustments are made the front portions of the steps can now be installed. Note that there is a right and left step. (See Items 13 and 14 in Diagram D located on page 8.) Identify the proper steps for each side. The front of each step has two 5/16” slotted holes provided for attaching it to the rear mounting bracket of the fender.
Position the step in its approximate location front to rear. With the top sur­face of the step you are installing positioned at approximately a 45 de­gree angle upward to the step welded to the frame, place the step up against the bottom outside edge of the step portion welded to the trailer frame. Once aligned in this position, rotate the step downward into its proper position. As it is rotated into position it will align itself up with the welded on portion of the step. When in position the step can now be moved forward so that the 5/16” slotted holes in the step align with the holes provided in the fender mounting bracket. Secure the step to the fender mounting bracket using 1/4” x 3/4” carriage bolts and 1/4” kep nuts provided. Tighten. Repeat this process on the other step.
Locate the 4 (Part # 0810974) self-drilling screws provided in the box with the running board steps. Slide the back of the step up against the rear step welded to the frame. Place two screws in the pilot holes provided in the rear of the step. Drill through the rear step to secure steps todether. Repeat on the other step.
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 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.
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 or else have the strake located between the long and short bunk on each side. Note that the spacing be­tween the long and short bunk can be changed by mounting the bunks in a different hole in the mounting bracket of the equilload arm that it attaches to. 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 of the 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.
Locate the adhesive-back non-skid surface material provided. Position it so that it is equally spaced from both the front and rear as well as from side to side of the step just installed. Once the proper positioning is determined, remove the adhesive backing from the non-skid and replace into position. Apply equal pressure to all areas of the non-skid to make sure that it is se­curely bonded to the step. Repeat this process on the other step. Assembly is complete.
Adjustments are now complete. Double check your boat for fit. If desired fit 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.
