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.
