Hitch Pin
Hitch Pin Clip
Remove all banded items from the frame and sort hardware by size.
TONGUE
The trailer is designed with a swing tongue as standard equipment. Rotate the swing tongue into its towing position and secure in place using the 5/8” x 6” hitch pin supplied with the trailer. Secure with the hairpin cotter key also provided.
Place the spring and axle U-bolt plate onto the ends of the two U-bolts just placed. Secure in place 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.
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts not tightened at this time.
lock nuts. Repeat this process on the other outside PWC bunk bracket on the front cross member.
Inside PWC bunk brackets on each side of the trailer:
Repeat the above process except point the dog-leg of the PWC bunk brackets toward the center of the trailer.
BUNKS: REAR CROSS MEMBER Outside PWC bunk brackets on each side of the trailer:
Slide a 3/8” x 3-7/16” x 3” square U-bolt (Item #31) over the rear cross member so the threaded end of the U-bolt is pointing rearward. Position the PWC bunk bracket on the rear side of the cross member so that the dog leg end of the PWC bunk bracket is pointing outward. Align two holes in the PWC bunk bracket with the legs of
the U-bolt, then insert U-bolt through the holes and secure with 3/8” ange lock nuts.
Re p e a t th is p r o c es s on th e ot h e r PW C bunk br a cket on the rea r cross member.
SAFETY CHAINS
Locate the 1/2” x 5” hex bolt. Slip the bolt
through a 1/2” at washer, then place through
the last link ofone of the safety chains.
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” at washer and hex
lock nut. Tighten.
SPRINGS
Position the axle so it is properly aligned with the trailer. Place the springs on the top side of the spring pads welded to the axle. (See chassis diagram). 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.

TIRE & WHEEL ASSEMBLY
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies us-
ing 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 periodically thereafter.
WINCH POSTS
The winch posts can be mounted as far for­ward on the mounting channels as possible until the PWC’s are placed on the trailer. Attach by placing the 3/8” bolts through the holes in the bottom of the winch posts and the mounting channels.
Place the winch handles onto the winch drive shafts and secure using the 1/2 “ nuts pro­vided. All other adjustments will be done after the PWC’s are positioned on the trailer.
BUNKS: FRONT CROSSMEMBER Outside PWC bunk brackets on each side of the trailer:
Slide a 3/8” x 3-7/16” x 3” square U-bolt (Item #11) over the front cross member so the threaded end of the U-bolt is pointing forward. Position the PWC bunk bracket on the front side of the cross member so that the dog leg end of the bracket is pointing outward. Align two holes in the PWC bunk
bracket with the legs of the U-bolt, then
insert U-bolt through the holes in the PWC
bunk bracket and secure with 3/8” ange
Inside PWC bunk brackets on each side of the trailer:
Repeat the above process except point the dog-leg of the PWC bunk brackets toward the center of the trailer.
Locate the bunk assemblies. Note that one end of the bunks have a tie down bracket fastened to it.
Position the bunk above the PWC bunk brackets just installed so that the tie down bracket is to the rear of the trailer. Align the holes in the bunk brackets (Item #1) with a hole in the PWC bunk brackets. Note that the PWC bunk bracket must be on the correct side of the leg of the bunk bracket attached to the bunk so that the metal of both brackets will hinge bind themselves when the bunks are pivoted. This will keep the bunks from pivoting too far when the machines are removed from the trailer. At­tach the two together using 3/8” x 1” hex
bolt and 3/8” ange lock nuts. Tighten but
do not over tighten. The bunks must be allowed to pivot so they can conform to the PWC boat bottom when it is placed on the trailer. Repeat this process on the other bunks.
FINAL ADJUSTMENT: Place the PWC’s on the trailer so the rear of the machines are positioned at the rear of the bunks. Check the bunk positioning for clearance with the strakes. Loosen the U-bolts securing the PWC bunk brackets to the crossmembers and slide the bunks either in or out so that they are located just to the outside of matching strakes. This will not only help with loading but will also give you proper support for your machine. Re-tighten the bunks when in the proper location. Repeat on the other machine.
Note the PWC bunk brackets also have multiple holes for raising or lowering the position that the machine sets on the trailer with respect to the frame and fenders. It may require a change in the height adjustment to clear the fenders on certain machines.
TRAILERADJUSTMENTS
The adjustment of the trailer to your boat
is very important not only for the trailer, but
also the PWC’s. Failure to do so may lead to potential failure or damage to either the trailer or PWC’s.
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 PWC’s placed on it. The tongue weight is also dependant on whether your trailer is equipped with a storage box and how much gear you will normally carry in it.
Best towing is achieved when the tongue weight is 5-7% of the total gross load of the complete unit.
WINCH POST ADJUSTMENT
Once all other adjustments are complete the winch post can be adjusted. Slide the winch post backward until the bow roller comes in contact with the PWC. Align the rear hole in the bottom of the winch post with the closest hole in the frame mount­ing channel. Insert a 3/8” hex bolt into the rear hole. Position the bow roller directly above the bow eye to prevent your PWC from moving forward in the event of a sud­den stop. The winch post can be rotated on the rear bolt just installed until the bow roller
is at the desired height required to t your PWC. Once in the correct position, align the
closest pair of holes in the front of the winch post and the mounting channel. Insert an­other bolt in the aligned holes. Tighten. At­tach the winch strap and crank winch tight.
Adjust the winch post for the second PWC as described above.
Adjustments are now complete. Double
check for t. If desired t 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. 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.
NOTE: Wire harnesses and brake line lines (if equipped with brakes) will need care when moving the axle assembly.
