TONGUE WEIGHT
The axle on this trailer is in a fixed position. The amount
of tongue weight that you have will depend on the
amount of gear and accessories that you have on your
boat. The location of the gear and accessories is
critical in determining the amount of tongue weight you
have. The recommended tongue weight for this trailer
is 7-10% of the total gross weight of the complete unit
including the trailer.

Assembly Instructions
Locate the bundles and break all banding holding the items
to the frame. Break the hardware bag and sort all nuts and
bolts by size.
Assembling this trailer is easiest when it is assembled on
saw horses or stands.
Ton gue
This trailer is available with three different length tongues
depending on which model was ordered. Locate the tongue
supplied with your trailer. Place it on saw horses or a stand to
pre-assemble it before installing it into the trailer frame.
Side Marker Lights
The side marker lights for your trailer are shipped
unassembled to prevent damage during shipping. Locate
them. They are to be mounted to the sides of the tongue in
the holes that are provided, see Detail B. Insert the 66”
pigtail of the light into the center hole pushing it in the tongue
so the wire will go to the front of the tongue. Pull the end of
the wire out the hole provided in the top of the tongue. (See
Detail A.) Attach the light to the tongue using the two- No. 10
x 3/4” self-tapping screws provided. Tighten. Repeat this process of the second light on the other side of the tongue.
Tongue Wire Harness
Locate the tongue harness. Plug the wires from the two side
marker lights just installed into the two single brown wire
female plugs on the wire harness located approximately 48”
from the front plug of the tongue harness. Once the wires are
plugged together insert the rear plug on the tongue harness
into the same hole on the top of the tongue and push the wire
harness into the tongue. This will pull all of the wires back
down the hole and into the inside of the tongue. Pull on the
tongue harness rear plug until it comes out the rear of the
tongue. Once the wire harness is exposed out the rear of the
tongue, insert the rear plug through the hole provided in the
side of the tongue. See Detail C. Place the rubber grommets
supplied in the holes on each end of the tongue to protect the
wires during use.
Note that the wire harness supplied with the trailer is long
enough to fit the longest length tongue available for this frame.
The model you ordered will determine how much extra wire
length you will have in the tongue harness. All extra wiring
can be pushed back into the hole in the top of the tongue.
Coupler
See Detail A. Place the coupler on the end of the tongue.
Align holes and attach to the tongue using one 1/2” x 4” hex
bolt and flange lock nut in the rear hole of the coupler. Attach
the front of the coupler to the tongue using a 1/2” x 1 hex bolt
and flange lock nut on each side. Tighten.
Tongue Stand
See Detail A. Locate the tongue stand. Note that it has a dart
shape on one end. With the tongue stand positioned cross
ways with the tongue, insert the dart into the slotted hole in
the bottom of the tongue. Once inserted, rotate the tongue
stand so it is in line with the tongue. Line the hole in the other
end of the tongue stand with the hole provided in the bottom
of the tongue. Secure the tongue stand in place using a 1/2”
x 1 hex bolt and flange lock nut. Tighten.
Safety Chains
See Detail A. Place a 3/8” flat washer on to a 3/8” x 1-1/4”
hex bolt. Next place the bolt through the end link of one of
the safety chains. Insert the bolt through the hole provided in
the side of the tongue as shown. Place on another 3/8” flat
washer and secure with a 3/8” flange lock nut. Tighten.
Repeat this process on the other safety chain.
Installing the Tongue Assembly Into The Frame
Raise the back of the tongue up into the front tongue channel
of the frame. See Detail C. Slide it backwards until the rear of
the tongue is in the front cross member. Align the hole in the
end of the tongue with the hole provided in the front cross
member. Attach it to the frame by placing a 3/8” x 4” carriage
down through the front cross member and the hole provided
in the rear of the tongue. Secure with a 3/8” flange lock nut.
Place another 3/8” x 4” carriage bolt through the tongue channel and through the sides of the tongue. Secure with another
3/8” flange lock nut. Tighten.
The white ground wire of the tongue wire harness needs to
be attached to the frame to assure a positive ground and
proper light functioning. Place a No. 10 x 3/4” self-tapping
screw into the round ring attached to the white ground wire.
Thread the self- tapping screw into the hole provided on the
bottom leg of the front cross member. Tighten.
