Rocker Bushings and/or Bogie:
Note 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 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. Install the 3/4” ID X 1” OD X 1-1/2” bronze bushings
into the inside the rocker matching the middle and rear

bushing must be secured with a 3/4” X
5-1/2” stainless steel hex bolt through
the rocker, bushing and the middle
shackle on the spring bracket. Tighten

with nylon insert. The front rocker
bushing must be secured with a 9/16”
X 3-3/4” stainless steel hex bolt and
9/16” stainless steel hex lock nut with
nylon insert. Repeat this procedure o
the other rocker on the opposite side of
the trailn er.
Spring Bracket Bushings:
Place one of the spring bracket bushings into the rear of the spring bracket and secure with a
9/16” x 3 1/4” stainless steel hex bolt and 9/16” stainless steel hex lock nut. Repeat in other

assembly. Secure with a 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt and lock
nut. Install the spring bracket bushing into the spring
support channel. This assembly is then inserted into the
rear spring bracket shackle and secured with a 9/16” X
4-3/4” stainless steel hex bolt and 9/16” stainless steel
hex lock nut with nylon insert. Repeat this procedure on
the other spring bracket on the opposite side of the
trailer.
Axle:
Note: The hook end of the springs must be toward the rear of the trailer, on both axles!
Spring Bracket Bushing
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. 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 place with 1/2”
stainless steel lock nuts. Thread onto the U-bolts
but do not tighten securely until the complete unit
is in position on the trailer. Repeat on the other
spring.

Winch Strap Adjusting Instructions:
Route the winch strap through the loop in the end of the

Proper adjustment is when the bow roller is in contact with
the boat and the winch post retainer strap is securely pulled
onto the top of the boat bow eye at the same time. Note that
they must both make contact at the same time to create the
maximum retaining force of the boat propelling forward in the
event of a p
anic or sudden stop.
Once the above adjustment is accomplished, hook the bow
eye safety chain into the boat bow eye as extra security to
keep the boat from sliding off the back of the trailer in the
event that the winch fails.
Rear Support System:
Place the boat on the trailer so that the transom is located at
the rear of the support system. On an bunk trailer, the
transom of the boat should be within 1-2” of the end of the

possible while transporting. Position t
