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 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 4-1/2” 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 identied 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.

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 identication 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.
