Diagram E
Attach the ground wire to the main frame by driving the screw into the bottom flange of the side frame. This will assure a positive ground for the lighting.
Brake line: Place one end of the tongue brake line into the hole in the top of the tongue located just behind the front joint of the two side frames. Insert until the end of the line comes out the front of the tongue. Place the actuator into it’s approximate location on the tongue.
Remove the plastic plug in the rear of the actuator and thread the brake line into the port.Tighten. Place the actuator in it’s proper location by aligning the holes in the mounting channel with the holes in the tongue.
Tongue:
Fasten the tongue in the rear at the front cross member location with a 1/2” X 4-1/2” stainless steel hex bolt and 1/2” stainless steel flat washers under the bolt head and the 1/2” stainless steel lock nut with nylon insert. Move the tongue up to the lower frame plate of the frame. Line up the holes, fasten the tongue in the frame with two (2) 1/2” X 3-9/16” X 5” stainless steel square u-bolts, 1/2” beveled aluminum washers, 1/2” stainless steel washers and 1/2” stainless steel hex lock nut with nylon inserts at the front of the tongue plates; Refer to Detail E and F. Connect the tongue brake­line to the sideframe with a brakeline coupling (Ref.#30 on page 4).
Safety Chain:
Mount the safety chains to the front on the tongue using a 1/2” X 1-1/2” stain­less steel hex bolt (Ref#4) with a 1/2” stainless steel flat washer at the head of the bolt, followed by a safety chain through the drop tongue tube and secure with a 1/2” stainless steel hex locknut with nylon insert. Repeat on other side. Refer to Diagram E.
Wiring:
Plug in the tongue wire harness to the side frame wire harnesses located on the first crossmember. Pull the wire out the hole in the tongue with either the brown and yellow or brown and green plug.
Actuator: Mount the actuator (Item #10) to the drop tongue section using three (3) 1/2” X 4-1/2” stainless steel hex bolts (Item #3) and 1/2” stainless steel hex lock nuts with nylon inserts.
Place a grommet around the brakeline where it comes out of the top of the tongue to keep it from vibrating and chaffing as it is being towed. Form the remaining end of the brake line so it will mate up with the brake line running down the side frame. Secure the two lines together with the brass coupling provided in Hardware box 66801. Tighten securely to prevent leaks but do not over tighten causing the threads in the fitting to strip.
White Ground Wire Installation: The white ground wire must be grounded to the trailer frame with a 1/4” X 3/4” stainless steel self grounding tap screw.

Final Assembly Instructions
Remove and sort the small parts from the frame.
Reference Standing at the rear of the trailer will determine the right and left sides of the trailer for assembly instructions.
Rocker Bogie: Ref e r to Detail H, Page 6. No t e
there is a grease zerk in the center bushing of the rocker bogie. Posi­tion the rocker bogie into the center mounting channel of the spring bracket so that the grease zerk is pointing down. This is necessary so that it can be serviced in the field when needed. Align the center hole of
the rocker (6239210) with the center hole of the spring bracket. Insert and se­cure with a 3/4” X 4-1/2” stainless steel hex bolt from the outside in and tighten with a 3/4” stainless steel hex lock nut.
Axles: Note: The hook end of the springs
must point to the rear of the trailer, on both axles!
Position the axles so they are prop­erly 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). Place a spring clamp on the top center of the spring. Place the 1/2” x 6-1/2” stainless steel square U-bolts down 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 pla ce with 1/2” st ain les steel lock nuts. Thread onto the U­bolts but do not tighten securely until the complete unit is in position on the trailer. Repeat on the other spring.
Place on e of the sp r i n g bracket bushings into the rear of the spring bracket an d secure with a 9/16” x 3 1/4” stainless steel hex bolt and 9/16” stainless steel hex lock nut. Re­peat in other spring bracket.
Position the rear axle under the frame, 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 rear hole in the axle rocker bogie just installed. Secure in place with 9/16” x 3-1/4” stainless steel hex bolts and 9/16” stainless steel lock nuts.
Install another spring bracket bush­ing in the front hole on the rock arm assembly. Secure with a 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt and lock nut. Tighten.
Hook the hook end of the spr ings mounted to the front axle over the bushing just installed in the rocker arm assembly. Then swing the front of the spring up and attach the front mounting hole in the spring bracket with another 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt and lock nut. Tight­en all axle U-bolts and spring bolts.
Brake Line Installation:
Open hardware box No. 66801 and sort. Locate the long (88’) brake line and straighten.
Remove one of the brass plugs from the port in the brass block on the left brake caliper that best aligns with the routing of the line. Note also that the bolt holding the brass block to the caliper can be loosened so that the brass block can be rotated to better accommodate the angle that the brake line approaches the block on the caliper. Thread the brake line fitting into this port to hold the line in position making sure that the line does not rub or touch the spring. Re-tighten the bolt in the brass block if it has been loosened to rotate the block.
Locate the five (5) line clamps and the 1/4” self tapping screws. Route the line down the back side of the axle and secure to the axle with the five (5) clamps and self tapping screws. Note that the axle is pre-drilled for the mounting screws.
Route the brake line over to the brass block on the right brake caliper. Remove both plugs on the right caliper block. Thread the other end of the brake line into one of the ports on the brass block. Thread the 18” brake hose male end into the other port from which the plug was removed and tighten. Position the brass block so that neither the hose nor the brake line will contact or rub the spring. Tighten all fittings.
Place the other end of the hose up through the hole provided in the brake li ne cli p bra cket . Secu re in place wi t h the ho se clip provid ed. Ite m No. 27 in Diagram F, Page 6.
Repeat this process on the second axle using the component parts in hardware box 66928.
Locate the brass tee in box 66928. Thread the male port of the tee into the female end of the brake hose of the front axle. Tighten. Remove the plastic cap from the end of the frame brake line coming out of the black plastic tube in the side frame by the axle. Uncoil the brake line enough so that it will reach the port of the tee just threaded into the brake hose. Thread the brake line fitting into the top port of the tee and tighten.
Locate the 40” long brake line tube in box 66928. Thread one end of the line into the remaining port of the tee installed in the previous step. Route the line back to the second axle. Place a coil in the line to use up the excess line and then connect the other end of the line into the hose coming from the second axle. Tighten both fittings. Note that the coil in the line will absorb the vibration created during towing.
Bleeding the Brake System
Bleed the brake system as specified in the brake manual. The bleeding process is necessary to remove ALL air entrapped in the system in order for the brake system to function properly.
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 Sho reLandr ’s Owners Manual. Re-torque the lug nuts after 50 miles of driving and then periodically thereafter.
Brakes:
Refer to the Brake Service Manual for service and maintenance.

TRAILER ADJUSTMENTS:
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.
Rear Support System Place the boat on the trailer so that the transom is located at the rear of the support system. On an RB bunk trailer, the transom of the boat should be within 1-2” of the end of the bunk. 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 two bolts that attach the ends of the rear cross member to each side frame. Slide the assembly to another set of holes provided in the side frames that is more desirable, and then re-attach the cross member in the new location with the bolts just removed.
The wire harness for the three-light identification light must be re-positioned where it comes from the black wire harness tubing to eliminate slack and sagging of the wiring.
Bunks The bunks must be positioned far enough apart to give your boat as much stability as possible while transporting. Position the bunks so they are located just to the outside of a strake that your boat may have. This will help center your boat and assist when loading. The bunks need to be adjusted up high enough to keep the keel from resting on the center pads. A minimum of one to two inches of clearance is desirable.
RB Bunk trailers would be adjusted the same way.
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 bunks or rollers from moving while the other a d ju s t m e n ts a r e be i ng m a de . Fi n a l ti g h t en i n g will be done at the end of the adjusting process.
Front Support System
Bunk
The front bunks should be adjusted either in or out so that the bunk will run just to the outside of the strake of the boat. The bunks can be adjusted either farther in or out from the location of the rear bunk position. Adjust the bunks up so that there is approximately 1” clearance between the keel of the boat and the center cross member pad.
RB and Roller
The ke el of the boat must rest on the cen ter of the front keel roller system creating a three-point support system. The keel roller system is designed to fit most boats without needing any further adjustment.
Once the boat is resting on the roller cradle assembly, the stabilizer pads can be adjusted. Slide the pad up against the boat bottom by hand. It is not necessary that they carry much weight. They are designed to 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 agai nst the boat. Tighten in position.
Winch Post:
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 sliding the winch post angle tube either forward or backward on the tongue, thus raising or lowering the bow eye roll­er. Attach the winch strap and crank winch tight.
It may also be used to keep your boat on the trailer while loading and unloading at the ramp, especially with a roller trailer.
Tighten all bolts and U-bolts at this time in the winch post assembly not previously tightened.
Attach the bow eye safety chain into the bow eye of the boat as well. This is just another added level of protection to keep your boat and trailer together as one unit.
Axle Adjustment: The amount of tongue weight on you 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 on 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: Brake line and wire harness will need care when moving the assembly.
NOTE: Check all fasteners, they must be tightened before towing.
Cautions / Warnings
The law requires that the white ground wire on both the tongue wire harness and the vehicle harness be properly grounded to the respective trailer and vehicle frames.
