SIDE MARKER LIGHTS FOR TONGUE Note: When installing the tongue in the trailer, the side marker
lights will have to be mounted to the tongue. They are shipped in a bag that is attached to the tongue. Insert the wire harness from the side marker light into the larger hole in the side of the tongue, then route the wire harness to the rear of the tongue. Attach the bezel with the rivets provided. Plug the side marker light into the two fe­male ends of the wire harness just pulled through on the large side hole. Snap the light assembly into the bezel. Repeat on the other side marker light.
Secure the tongue into the frame by placing a ½” x 4” cross bolt in the front of the tongue channel. Locate the tongue cover plate as shown in Diagram A, Detail A. Feed the wire harness and brake line if applicable through the hole in the tongue cover plate. Position the tongue cover plate so the mounting hole aligns with the hole in the rear bottom of the tongue. Place a ½” x 1 ½” hex bolt downward through the tongue cover plate, tongue and tongue channel. Se-
cure both mounting bolts with ½ ange lock nuts. Tighten.
Plug the tongue wire harness ends into the frame harnesses by matching colors and ends. Push the excess wire provided either into the rear of the tongue or else remove the grommet in the side frame and place the excess wire in the side frame. Replace grom­met just removed.
SAFETY CHAINS
Insert a 3/8” x 1 ¼” hex bolt through a 3/8” at washer and then into
the end link of one safety chain. Insert the bolt into the front bottom
hole punched in the tongue. Place another 3/8” at washer on the bolt and secure with a 3/8” ange lock nut. Tighten.
Remove the small parts from the frame by cutting the banding. Re­move the bolt bag and sort all the nuts and bolts by size.
BUNKS
Note that the bunk system is adjustable for width to t most cen­ter dimensions of the pontoon tubes. Determine the centers of the
bunk support system that ts the pontoon tubes for the pontoon
that is going to be placed on the trailer and position accordingly.
Position the carpeted bunks so approximately 10” extends past the back of the rear bunk saddle support. Attach the bunks to the brackets using the ¼” x 1 ½” lag screws provided. Position the sec­ond bunk so it is just to the front of the rear bunk just installed.
Repeat this process on the bunks on the other side of the bunk saddle support and then on the other side of the trailer.
TONGUE
See Diagram B, Page 4.
Locate the proper length tongue. Insert the rear of the tongue into the frame tongue channel until the mounting holes line up. Locate the wire harness. Unwind and insert the end with the two plugs that mate with the frame harness into the hole and route out the rear of the tongue. Place a rubber grommet around the wire in the hole on top of the tongue.
Repeat this process on the other safety chain.
BRAKE LINE
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.
If brakes are going to be installed, the line should be installed inside the tongue at this time.

WINCH POST
See Diagram C.
Position the winch post on the tongue and secure in place using
½” x 3 9/16” x 6” square U-bolts. Secure with ½” ange lock nuts.
Tighten only to hold in position because they will have to be moved when the pontoon is placed on the trailer.
Attach the winch handle to the winch using the nylon locking nut provided on the winch.

SPRINGS
See Diagram D.
Position the axle under the frame so it is properly orientated. All 2” x 2” pontoon axles have holes drilled for mounting brake lines. These attaching holes must be positioned to the rear of the trailer. (If a brake axle is being installed, make sure axle is oriented so the brake backup plates are on the right sides of the trailer. (Right on right and left of left.)
Place the springs under the axle as shown so the closed eye of the spring is to the front of the trailer. Drop two ½´x 2 9/16´x 5” square U-bolts down around the axle and on each side of the spring as shown.
Align the legs of the U-bolt with the holes in a spring pad and then insert so the spring pad is up against the spring. Secure with ½” ange lock nuts. Tighten to keep all items in position but do not se­curely tighten until the axle assembly is completely installed under the frame.
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 loop end of the spring around the bushings just in-
ONE AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION
Cut the tape securing the brake line hose to the axle. Place the other end of the hose up through the hole provided in the brake line clip bracket. Secure in place with the U-shaped hose clip provided.
Remove the brass plug from the end of the hose. stalled. Note that if the axle is positioned too low when trying to hook, the loops will not hook around the bushings.
Remove the plastic cap from the end of the frame brake line com-
ing out of the side frame by the axle. Carefully uncoil the brake line 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. Repeat this process on the other spring.
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts not tightened at this time.

so that it will reach the end of the hose just attached to the brake
line bracket. Thread the brake line tting into the brake line hose.
Tighten.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4810709
Proper tongue weight must be maintained.
Rev C 8/28/06
Before towing, check the following to ensure that:
1. All parts, bolts, nuts and wheel lug nuts are tight.
2. All wheel lug nuts must be tightened to a minimum torque rating of 85 ft/lb.
3. Lug nuts must be re-torqued after the first 50 miles, then periodically there after.
4. Tires are inflated to manufacturer’s standards. (See tire sidewall)
5. Wheel bearings have adequate grease.
6. Hitch ball is the proper diameter and has a rating equal to or greater than the GVWR of the trailer.
7. Coupler is properly attached and secured to coupler ball.
8. Trailer safety chains are crossed under the tongue and attached to towing vehicle.
9. All lights are operational. Note: It is recommended that the trailer lights be disconnected before backing into the water.
10. Tie downs, winch strap and bow­ eye safety chain are secure.
11. Trailer tongue jack is in up or travel position.
NOTE: The axle has brake uid installed in the clusters and the
axle line when it is assembled at the factory. This is done to protect the inner parts of the brake system during shipping and storage. The complete brake system including the axle MUST be re-bled to ensure that all air has been removed from the brake system.
Fill the actuator reservoir with brake uid and bleed the line per the
bleeding instructions in one of the following; UFP Brake Bleeding Manual or the ShoreLand’r Disc Brake Manual. Rell the reser-
voir and replace the reservoir cap.
TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLIES
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the ½” 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.
ADJUSTING INSTRUCTIONS
Place the pontoon on the trailer so that the pontoon tubes are ush
with the ends of the bunks. This will give you maximum support. The bunk spacing has already been determined and set for width when the trailer was assembled.
WINCH POST
With the pontoon in its proper position, slide the winch post as­sembly backward until it contacts the deck. The plastic stops allow for the variance in most deck heights. It is adjustable up or down approximately 3” if required. This is accomplished by loosening and removing the two bolts that attach the top of the winch post assem­bly to the base.
Once the winch post is contacting the deck, tighten in position. Hook the winch strap into the bow eye and tighten by cranking the winch.
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 assembly 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.
Recheck all fasteners on the complete trailer to make sure they are all tight and ready for towing. All fasteners should be periodically checked before towing.
See your ShoreLand’r Owner’s Guide for further technical infor­mation regarding your trailer and its components.
