FINAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the hardware bag from the frame, remove 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.
Secure the tongue cover plate in position with the same 1/2” x 1-1/ 2” hex bol t tha t secure s the bac k on the tongue to the tongue channel of the frame. Secure with a 1/2” lock nut. Tighten both bolts just installed.
Pl u g th e tongue wir e ha rness end s in to 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 frames and place the extra wi re in the side frame. Replace grommets just removed.
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 of one of the safety chains.
Place the bol t with chai n attac hed 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

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 Prole 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 Diagram C inside the winch base so it aligns with the
hole just identied 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.

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.
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.

R SERIES
The R-series roller rack is installed by placing the roller arm assembly mounting channel over the rear cross member and securing in place with a 1/2” x 4-1/2” hex bolt and lock nut. (See Diagram A). Note that it should be left loose until the boat is placed on the trailer. Once the proper positions is determined, it may be tightened. Repeat on the other roller arm assembly.
The short stabilizer bunk is installed to the adjustable bunk bracket on the front cross member with a 3/8” x 1” hex bolt and lock nut. (See Diagram A).
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.

TRAILER ADjUSTMENTS
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.
Note: Wire harnesses and brake line lines (if equipped with brakes) will need care when moving the axle assembly.
REAR SUPPORT SYSTEM
1. Place the boat on the trailer so that the transom is located at the rear of the support system. The center of the rear rollers on the roller rack should be approximately 4” from the transom. This gives you maximum support on the transom.
The rear cross member is adjustable forward or backward to allow the trailer to be adjusted to various length boats. This is accomplished by removing the pivot bolt on holds each end of the rear pivot to the side frame. Reposition the rear pivot arm into the other hole position predrilled in the side frame. Reattach the rear pivot to the side frame with the bolts just removed. Tighten.
The wire harness for the three-light identication light must be
repositioned where it comes from the side frame to the rear pivot to eliminate slack, and sagging of the wiring.
ROLLERS Position the roller racks so they are far enough apart to give your boat stability while transporting. When the desired width is achieved, move the roller rack system so that the rollers are just to the outside of a strake. The rollers need to be adjusted so that you have a minimum of one to two inches of clearance between the keel of the boat and the center cross member pads. This will help center the boat when loading and unloading.
When the desired position is determined, tighten only enough to hold the rollers from moving while the other adjustments are being made. Final tightening will be done at the end of the adjusting process.
roller system creating a three-point support system. The keel
roller system is designed to t most boats without needing any
further adjustment, however there is considerable differences in boat bottom designs and certain lines of boats will require a riser. One riser is shipped inside the rear keel guide roller bracket. This can be removed and bolted on the bottom side of the keel guide roller bracket so it is between it and the keel cradle itself. This will raise the front end of your boat 3/4”. In the event that this is not enough, an additional one can be added to the other keel guide roller bracket.
Once the height of the roller cradle assembly is established the stabilizer pads can be adjusted. This is accomplished by sliding the pad up against the boat bottom by hand. It is not necessary that they carry much weight. They are designed to just give your boat added stability while being towed. It may be necessary to adjust the assembly up so that they can be moved further apart giving additional support. Pull the assembly away from the boat. Place the U-bolt that holds the assembly to the cross member in a lower hole in the bracket. Then push the assembly back against the boat. Tighten in position.
WINCH POST
1. Once 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 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.
Adjustments are now complete. Double check your boat 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. 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 check before towing.

The keel of the boat must rest on the center of the front keel
