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.
If brakes are going to be installed, the line should be installed inside
the tongue at this time.
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 frame. 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 light in
position using the No. 10 x ¾” self-tapping screws provided. Plug
the side marker light into one of the single plugs located at the rear
of the tongue harness. 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. Secure both mounting bolts with ½ flange lock nuts. 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 fit most center dimensions of the pontoon tubes. Determine the centers of the
bunk support system that fits 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.
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.
WHITE GROUND WIRE INSTALLATION
Place the self-tapping screw provided through the round metal ring
on the white ground wire of the tongue harness located at the rear
of the tongue. Attach the ground wire to the main frame by driving
the screw in the hole provided next to the tongue channel of the
frame. This will assure a positive ground for the lighting.
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. Slide
through actuator housing and tongue. Slide other safety chain over
bolt and add a 1/2” flat washer. Secure with a 1/2” flange lock nut.
See Diagram B.
Assembly is complete.
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.

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” flange 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 so it is properly aligned with the trailer. Place the
springs on the topside of the spring pads welded to the axle. (See
Diagram D). Note the hook end of the spring must be mounted
to the rear of the trailer. Place a spring clamp on the top over the
spring bolt as shown. Next place the ½” x 6 ½” U-bolts over the top
of the clamp and spring allowing one to hang down in front of the
axle and one behind. Slide a spring pad over the threaded ends of
the U-bolts and apply ½” flange lock nuts. Tighten only enough to
hold in place. Repeat on other side of trailer.
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 installed. Note that if the axle is positioned too low when trying to
hook, the loops 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. Repeat this process on the other spring.
For the second axle (front axle), locate in the brake line kit a brake
line mounting bracket and two self tapping screws. Mount the
bracket to the side frame of the trailer a couple of inches behind
the axle (if the axle should bottom out this will prevent breaking the
connection). Cut the tape on the axle holding the brake line hose
and clip. Insert clip into bracket and secure with the clip. Remove
the brass plug and from the brake line kit take the connection line
and thread into the brake line hose connection. Form the line in a
gradual radius to prevent kinking, a loop may need to be made to
take up excess line (the line can be formed around a pop can or
a spray paint can) place the other end of the line into the inverted
flare previously installed on the spring bracket. Go back and make
sure all connections are secure. Do not over tighten these connections are brass and will strip out and leak.
NOTE: The axle and enclosed lines and attached clusters have
brake fluid installed when assembly was made to protect inner parts
during shipping and storage. The complete system must be re-bled
to ensure that all the air has been removed from the brake system.
Remove the cap from the actuator and fill with brake fluid. Replace
the cap and follow the manufactures instructions for proper bleeding procedures. Once complete remove reservoir cap and refill with
fluid before using trailer.
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts not tightened at this time.
TANDEM AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION
Cut the tape securing the brake line hose and clip to the axle. Place
the end of the brake line hose into the brake line bracket on the
spring bracket and secure with the clip. Remove the brass plug
and insert an inverted flare from the brake line kit into the brake line
hose (the opening in the side of the flare should be facing to the
front of the trailer once tightened). Uncoil only enough frame brake
line to make the connection to the top of the inverted flare. Remove
the plastic cap from the end of the frame brake line and secure to
the brake line hose.
TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLIES
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the ½” fine 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 flush
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.
Note: 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.
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.
