IMPORTANT: All hardware for
your trailer is stainless steel.
It is important that you use an
anti-seize material on the bolt
threads when assembling to
prevent gaulding.

Bunk Assembly (B-Series) - Assemble after the axles and tires are assembled.

The 2 x 6 bunk assemblies with mounting brackets are factory assembled. Place
the end of the bunk with the two brackets on the equiload bunk arm. Secure with a
3/8” x 1” hex bolt and lock nuts through the brackets on the bunk and the ear on
each end of the equiload arm. Repeat on the other end of the arm. (See Detail I.)

Place the other end of the bunk in the bracket and adjustable bracket mounted on
the front cross member. (The adjustable bracket is adjustable in height.) Once the
proper position for the rear cross member is determined, the front of the bunk
attaches to the bracket using two No. 10 x 1-1/4” self tapping screws as shown in
Detail H.

The 3/8” bolts can be tightened, do not over tighten. The bunks should be allowed
to rotate slightly to conform to the boat bottom.

Tongue

The tongue comes shipped positioned backwards in the
frame. Remove the nut and bolt that holds the tongue in place
and discard. Slide the tongue out from it’s shipping position
and re-install in the front tongue channel. Line the holes in
the tongue with the holes in the tongue channel. Secure with
a 1/2” x 4” hex bolt and 1/2” lock nut in the front cross hole.

Remove the wire harness from the rear of the tongue. Place
the wire harness and the brake line through the hole in the
tongue cover plate. (See Detail G). Secure the tongue cover
plate in position with a 1/2” x 1-1/2” hex bolt and 1/2” lock nut.
Tighten. Plug the tongue wire harness ends into the frame
harnesses by matching colors and ends. Push the extra wire
into the rear of the tongue or remove the grommets in the
side frame and place the extra wire in the side frame.
Replace grommets 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

Place 1/2” x 5” hex bolt through a 1/2” flat washer and the
last link of the safety chains. Insert in the hole (bottom front
of the actuator) on the tongue. Place the second chain on the
same bolt that is extending through the other side of the
tongue. Secure with a 1/2” flat washer and hex lock nut.

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 Assembly

(See Detail J, Page 2). The height that the bow eye is located
on your boat will determine the winch post length required.
Once this is determined, attach the winch base to the tongue
with three 1/2” x 4-1/2” hex bolts and lock nuts.

Align the holes in the Profile 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 with 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.

The winch head can be rotated either up or down. Identify
the correct hole combination to position the bow eye roller
just above the bow eye of your boat. Secure in position by
placing the bushing as shown in Detail J, Ref #1, inside the
winch base so it aligns with the hole just identified 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.

Secure with a 1/2” lock nut. Tighten all bolts.

Tire Size: ST215/75R 14-C
GVWR: 3740 lb.
Carrying Capacity: 3000 lbs.
Axle: Brake

Refer to the tire side wall for correct tire pressure.

Springs

Position the axle so that it is aligned with the trailer.
Position the brake axle so that the disc brake
calipers are on the back side of the axle.
Place the springs on the topside of the spring pads
welded to the axle. (See chassis diagram) 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.
Place the 1/2” x 6-1/2” U-bolts over the top of the spring
clamp, spring and axle. Place the spring and axle U-bolt
plate onto the ends of the two U-bolts. Secure in place
with 1/2” lock nuts. Tighten.

Axle

Place a spring bracket bushing (Ref #25) 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, hook the
hook loop of the spring around the bushings just in­stalled. Note: If the axle is positioned too low, 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.

One Axle Brake Installation

Cut the tape securing the brake line hose to the axle. Remove the brass
plug from the port in the brass block on the right brake caliper. Thread in
the male end of the brake hose and tighten. Place the other end of the
hose through the hole in the brake line clip bracket and secure with a hose
clip.

Tire And Wheel Assemblies

Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the
1/2” fine threaded tapered lug nuts provided.
Tighten to 80-90 ft/lb. of torque using the
rotation pattern as shown in the ShoreLandr’s
Owners Manual.

Remove the plastic cap from the end of the frame brake line. This brake
line is located coming out of the black plastic tube in the side frame by the
axle.

Uncoil the brake line so that it reaches the end of the hose just attached to
the brake line clip bracket. Thread the brake line fitting into the brake line
hose. Tighten. NOTE: All bleeding to the line can be done through the
bleeder on the right caliper.

Fill the actuator reservoir with brake fluid and bleed the line per the
instructions in the Brake Manual. NOTE: The axle is already bled at the
factory during assembly. All bleeding to the line can be done through the
bleeder on the right caliper.

For bleeding instructions see the ShoreLand’r Disc

Brake Manual.

Re-torque the lug nuts after 50 miles of driving
and then periodically thereafter.
