WIRE HARNESS
Locate the wire harness. Push the two triangular plugs in the
hole on the top of the tongue, then out the rear of the tongue.
Place the wire harness through the hole in the tongue cover
plate. (See Detail A) 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.
TONGUE
The tongue comes shipped separate of the frame. Locat e and
slide the tongue 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.
Locate the coupler bag. Place the coupler on the end of the
tongue, align holes and secure with one 1/2” X 4” hex bolts and
hex flange lock nuts in the rear coupler hole. Place two 1/2” X 1”
hex bolts into the front holes of the coupler and secure to the
each side of the tongue with 1/2” flange lock nuts. Tighten.
SAFETY CHAINS
Mount the safety chains to the front of the tongue by placing a
3/8” flat washer onto a 3/8” X 1-1/4” hex bolt, then insert the bolt
through the last link of the safety chain. Put the bolt through the
hole on one side of the tongue as shown. Place on another flat
washer and secure with a 3/8” hex flange nut. Tighten. Repeat
on the other chain on the other side of the tongue.

Winch Post
Place the winch post assembly on the tongue and secure with
three 3/8” X 4” hex bolts and hex flan ge lock nuts. Pl ace the nuts
on the bolts but do not tighten because they will have to be
readjusted once the boat is on the trailer
.
Remove the winch handle nut from the shaft. Align the hole in the
winch handle with the flat surfaces on the shaft. Slide in position
and secure with the nut just removed. Tighten.

Springs
Positions the axle so that it is aligned with the trailer.
Place the springs on the top side of the spring pads welded
to the axle. 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.#6) 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 the 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 31/4” hex bolts and lock nuts. Tighten all axle U-bolts and
spring bolts.
Tire& Wheel Assembly
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2” fine
threaded tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to 85-95 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.

BUNK ASSEMBLY (B-SERIES)
Tshe 2 x 4 bunk assemblies have the bunk brackets factory as-
embled. Place the end of the bunk with the two brackets on
he equiload bunk arm. (See Detail D) Secure with 3/8” x 1”
t
ex bolts and lock nuts through the brackets on the bunk and
h
he ear on each end of the equiload arm.
t
Place the other end of the bunk in the bracket mounted on the
ront cross member. (The bracket is adjustable for height as
f
ell as side ways.) Once the proper position for the rear cross
w
ember is determined, the front of the bunk can be attached
m
o the bracket using two No. 10 x 1-1/4” self tapping scre ws as
t
hown in Detail E. Repeat assembly on the other bunk.
s
The 3/8” bolts can be tightened, but do not over tighten. The
unks must rotate slightly to conform to the boat bottom. b
See Page 10 for final adjustments.

Trailer Adjustments
Axle Adj u s t ment
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 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 of the boat placed
on it. Best towing is achieved when the tongue weight is 57% of the total gross load of the complete unit.
NOTE: The wire harness will need care when moving the
assembly.
Rear Support System
Bunks (V & B Series)
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 the b oat’s
strake. This will help center your boat and assist when
loading. The bunks need to be adjusted up high eno ugh to
keep the keel from resting on the center pads. A minimum of
1” to 2” of clearance is desirable.
Front Support System
Bunk
The front bunks should be adjusted either in or out so that the
bunk will continue to run just to the outside of the strake of
the boat. Adjust the bunks up so that there is approximately
1” clearance between the keel of the boat and the center
cross member pad.
.
Winch Post Adjustment
Slide the winch post assembly back towards the boat. The
bow stop roller needs to be located directly above the boat
bow eye to prevent your boat from moving forward in the
event of a sudden stop.
Note that the outer winch base has several holes of
adjustment. Changing the bolt location will change the
angle of the winch post and will raise or lower the he ight of
the bow roller. Choose the bolt location which best
matches it to the bow eye height.
The inner and outer winch post channels can telescope
either in or out with respect to each other to length en or
shorten the overall length of the post. Loosen the two bolts
located on the back, inside of the channels. Attach the
winch strap into the bow eye and crank the winch strap in
until the bow eye is located in it’s proper position just
above the bow eye. Slide the inner post in or out to a
desired length.
Once the bow stop roller is located in it’s proper pos ition
above the bow eye, tighten the bolts that secure the
assembly to the tongue.
Attach the bow eye safety chain into the bow eye as well.
This is another level of protection to keep your trailer and
boat together as one unit. It may be used to keep your
boat on the trailer while loading and unloadin g at the ramp,
especially with a roller trailer.
Adjustments are now complete. Double check your
boat for fit. If desired fit has been achieved, tighten all
fasteners that may have either been left loose or have
been loosened to do the adjusting.
See your ShoreLand’r Owner’s Guide for further
technical information regarding your trailer and its
components.
