FINAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the hardware bag from the frame, remove parts and sort
by size. Remove all the banded items from the frame.
TONGUE
Install the swing tongue 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 it
through the hole provided in the tongue cover plate.
Secure the tongue cover plate in position with the same 1/2” x 11/2” hex bolt that secures the back of 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 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 grommets in the side frame
and place the extra wire in the side frame. Replace grommets just
removed.
SAFETY CHAINS
Locate a 3/8” x1 1/4” hex bolt. Slip the bolt through a 3/8” 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 tongue. Secure with a 3/8” ange lock nut. Tighten. Repeat on the other side and safety chain.
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 Prole 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 Prole 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 pro-
trusion ts down into the indent in the winch base.
Position the jack mounting plate so it is centered around the inside
jack spacer just positioned.
Lay the jack retainer plate on top of the jack mounting plate aligning
the holes in it with the holes in the winch base.

Once tightened, rotate the jack through its normal pivoting range to
make sure it is free to travel and is not binding up.
secure in this position by placing the bushing as shown 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 deIf jack pivots, place it on the tongue and secure in place with the
bolts and hardware provided with the trailer. Complete the assembly of the winch head to the winch base. Assembly is complete.
termined 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.
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” 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” hex bolt
through the hole closest to the front of the winch base. Secure with

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. 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.
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 periodi-
cally thereafter.
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts not tightened at this time.

V-BUNK ASSEMBLY (V-SERIES)
Position the bunks so that they are above the bunk brackets attached
to the front and rear cross members. (See Detail B, Page 2) Secure
the brackets on the bunk to the upright brackets with 3/8” X 3-3/4” hex
bolts and hex lock nuts. Tighten but do not over tighten because the
bunks must be able to rotate to conform to the boat bottom.

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 center cross member
pad.
