Ton gue

The tongue comes shipped separately. Locate and install
under the frames front tongue channel and in the channel
welded to the front cross member which will support the rear
of the tongue.

Line the hole in the tongue with the hole in the tongue
channel. Install the 1/2” x 4-1/2” carriage bolt in the front cross
hole and secure with a 1/2” lock nut. Secure the rear of the
tongue to the frame with a 1/2” x 4” hex bolt and lock nut.
Tighten.

Tongue Wire Harness

Locate the tongue wire harness. Place the end of the wire
harness with the two double plugs into the hole in the top of
the tongue. Pull backwards through the tongue until they can
be fished through the holes in each side of the tongue. Note
that the brown and yellow plug must go to the left side of the
trailer and the brown and green plug must go to the right side
of the trailer.

Plug the tongue wire harness ends into the frame harnesses
by matching colors and ends. Place grommets into the wire
holes. Push the extra wire provided either into the hole in the
tongue or else remove the grommet in the side frame and
place the extra wire in the side frame. Replace grommets
just removed.

Brake Line

Remove the brake line from the brake kit box 68140. Locate
the 58” tongue line. Uncoil the line and insert one end into
the rear of the tongue pushing it forward until the end comes

out of the front of the tongue. Locate the brass brake line
coupling in the hardware box and thread on the rear fitting of
the brake line.

Actuator

Locate the actuator, and position it on the front of the tongue
as shown. Look into the back end of the actuator and locate
the solenoid. Note there is a wire harness coiled around the
round solenoid. Uncoil the wire and plug it into the bullet plug
on the end of the blue wire of the tongue harness. Remove
the plastic plug from the port in the rear of the solenoid Thread
the fitting on the end of the brake line into the solenoid port
from which the plastic plug was just removed. Tighten.

Align the holes in the actuator with the holes in the tongue.
Secure the actuator to the tongue using three (3) 1/2” x 4”
hex bolts and lock nuts. Tighten.

Bend the line coming out the rear of the tongue 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.

Safety Chains

Mount the safety chains to the front of the tongue by placing
a 1/2” flat washer onto a 1/2” x 5” hex bolt, then insert the bolt
through the last link on one of the safety chains provided.
Insert the bolt through the hole provided in the front of the
tongue as shown. Once the bolt is completely inserted, place
on the other safety chain provided. Place on another 1/2” flat
washer and secure with a 1/2” hex lock nut. Tighten.

Winch Post Assembly

Mount the winch post assembly to the tongue in a
location that will best fit your boat. Secure the winch
post base weldment (Ref. 2) to the tongue using (2)
1/2” x 3-9/16’ x 5” U-bolts and hex lock nuts. Attach the
winch post tube weldment to the base just installed with
a 1/2” x 4-1/2” hex bolt and hex lock nut.

Tighten only enough to hold the assembly in position
until the boat is positioned on the trailer.

Refer to pages 6, 7 & 10.

Rocker Bogie

Locate the rocker bogie as shown on page 4. Note there is a
grease zerk in the center bushing of the rocker bogie. This is
necessary so that it can be serviced in the field when needed.
Position the rocker bogie into the center mounting channel of
the spring bracket. The rocker must be positioned with the
hole locations as shown for proper operation. Align the
center hole of the rocker 60205 with the hole in the center
mounting channel of the spring bracket. Insert a 3/4” x 5-1/2”
hex bolt from the outside inward as shown and secure with a
hex lock nut. Tighten. Repeat on the other rocker bogie.

Springs

Position the axles so they are properly aligned with the trailer,
which is the disc brake calipers are on the backside of the
axle. Block the axles so they are approximately 12” above
the floor. Drop two 1/2” x 2-9/16” x 6-1/2” U-bolts down over
the axle as shown (See Page 10), then down through the
holes in the spring mounting plate that is welded to the axle.
Position a spring so that the eye end of the spring is to the
front of the trailer. Raise the spring up between the U-bolts,
slip on another spring plate and secure with four 1/2” hex
lock nuts. Run the nuts up the threads but do not tighten until
after the springs are mounted into the trailer frame. Repeat
on the other end of this axle, then on the second axle.

Axles

Place the eye of the springs mounted on the rear axle into
the rear of the rocker bogies. Align holes and secure in the
rocker bogies with a 9/16” x 3-3/4” hex bolt and hex lock nut.
Raise the rear of the spring and axle assembly up into the
rear spring bracket channel. Place a spring support channel
(Ref. # 6) under the spring. Align the holes and place 9/16” x
4-3/4” hex bolt through one side of the spring support
channel and one side of the spring bracket channel. Next
place a spring bracket bushing on the top side of the spring,
(See Detail F) align with the bolt just inserted, then insert the
bolt completely through the bushing and the other sides of
the spring bracket channel and the spring support channel.
When completely inserted, secure with a 9/16” hex lock nut.

and familiarize yourself on how it needs to be formed to
connect to the brass blocks on the brake calipers. Form the
line so that it can be routed down the back side of the axle
and then over to the brass block on the calipers.

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.

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
this end of the brake line into one of the ports on the brass
block. Thread the male end of the 13” brake hose 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 line clip bracket. Secure in place with the hose
clip provided. Item No. 32 on page 6.

Repeat this process on the second axle using the identical
component parts in the hardware box.

Locate the brass tee in box 68140. 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 side frame by the axle.
Carefully 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.

Place the eye of the springs mounted to the front axle into
the front spring bracket channel for the front axle. Secure as
above using a 9/16” x 3-3/4” hex bolt and hex lock nut. Raise
the rear of the springs up into the front side of the rocker
bogies. Raise the springs up and secure by placing under
the springs 9/16” x 3-3/4” hex bolts and hex lock nuts. Tighten
the bolts just installed.

Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts not tightened at this
time.

Brake Line Installation

Open and remove parts from hardware box No. 68140 and
sort all items. Locate the long (90’) brake line and straighten
out by uncoiling on the concrete floor while walking on the
line as you uncoil. The line should be made as straight as
possible to assist in mounting to the axle.

Locate five (5) brake line clamps and 1/4” self tapping screws
provided in the kit. Hold the line on the backside of the axle

Midwest Industries, Inc. Ida Grove, IA 51445 [phone] www.shorelandr.com M304026

Locate the 40” long brake line tube in box 68140. 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
ShoreLandr’s Owners Manual. Re-torque the lug nuts
after 50 miles of driving and then periodically thereafter.
