Rocker Bushings:
Install the 3/4” ID X 1” OD X 1-1/2” bronze bushings into the inside the rocker matching the middle and rear hole patterns. The middle rocker 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 using a 3/4” stainless steel hex lock nut 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 on the other rocker on the opposite side of the trailer.
Spring Bracket Bushings:
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: First Axle Installation:
Align the eye of the spring on the rst axle with the hole provided in
the spring bracket. From the outside in, insert a 9/16” x 3 ¾” hex bolt through the spring bracket and the eye of the spring. Secure with a 9/16” hex lock nut.
Raise the rear hook end of the spring and axle assembly up so it is up inside the rocker bogie. Secure in place by placing a 9/16” x 3 ¾” hex bolt through the hole in the rocker bogie just below the spring leaf. Secure with a 9/16” lock nut.
For installtion of the rear axle:
Align the eye of the spring on the third axle with the hole provided in the rear of the rocker bogie holding the rear of the second axle. From the outside in, insert a 9/16” x 3 ¾” hex bolt through the rocker bogie and the eye of the spring. Secure with a 9/16” hex lock nut.
Raise the rear hook end of the springs on the third axle up into the spring bracket. Place a spring bushing above the hook leaf of the spring located inside the spring bracket channel. Secure the spring in the spring bracket by placing a spring support channel under the spring. Insert a 9/16” x 4-3/4” hex bolt from the outside-in through the spring support channel, spring bracket and then through the spring bushing just placed above the hook spring leaf. Secure us­ing a 9/16” lock nut. Repeat on the other spring.
Brake Line Installation
Sort all of the items in hardware box No. 68732. Locate the long (90’) brake lines and straighten out by uncoiling on a concrete oor 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 ve (5) line clamps and 1/4” self tapping screws provided in the kit. Hold the line on the backside of the axle 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 the lower brass plug from the port in the brass block on the left brake caliper. 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 tting 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 along the back side of the axle and secure to the axle with the ve (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 the bottom port on the brass block. Thread the 13” brake hose male end into the other port. Tighten. Position the brass block so that neither the hose nor the brake line will contact or rub the spring.
Tighten all ttings.
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.
Repeat this process on the second axle.
Connecting the Axles Together
Locate the two brass tees. Thread the male port of the tees into the female end of the 13” brake hoses running up from the axles just installed on the front and second axles. 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 tting into the top port of the tee
installed on the front axle and tighten.
NOTE: The hook end of the springs must be installed in the same direction, to the rear of the of the trailer - on both axles!
Brakes:
Refer to the brake manual for service and maintenance.
Tire/Rim Assemblies:
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2” ne threaded
tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to 85-130 ft./lb. torque using the rotation pattern as shown in the ShoreLandr’s Owners Manual. Re-torque the lug nuts after 50 miles driving and then periodically thereafter.

Final Assembly Instructions
Remove the small parts from the frame by cutting the bands. Re­move the bolt bag and sort all nuts and bolts by size.
Refer to the individual pages for assembly instruction by bundles.
Reference: Standing at the rear of the trailer will determine the right and left side of the trailer in the assembly instructions.
The SLB-R-RB-XR82TAL side frames and crossmembers are as­sembled at the manufacturer. The spring brackets and fenders are also assembled at the manufacturer.
Cautions and Warnings:
The law requires that the white ground wire on both the tongue wire harness and vehicle harness be properly grounded to the respec­tive trailer and vehicle frames.
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 bunk. 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.
Check all nuts and bolts; tighten before towing.
Tongue Weight Adjustment:
Tongue weight should be 5% to 7% of the total gross weight of the boat and trailer combined.
Tongue weight too high, move the axle assembly forward. Tongue weight too low, move the axle assembly backward.
NOTE: Brake line and wire harness will need care when moving the assembly.
Adjustments
Winch Post:
Place the boat on the trailer and position it for proper support. Once the boat is positioned adjust the winch post as follows:
Loosen the U-bolts attaching the winch post mounting bases to the tongue. Rotate the winch post assembly either upward or down­ward until the strap coming off the winch is at the same height as the boat bow eye. Slide the assembly backward until the bow eye roller about contacts the boat. Place the retainer strap up over the top of the boat bow eye. Note that the bow roller assembly may have to be adjusted either up or down on the winch post pivot tube so that the retainer strap is directly above the boat bow eye as the
bow roller contacts the boat. This is a good starting point for the ne
adjustment of he winch post as described below.
Winch Strap Adjusting Instructions:
Route the winch strap through the loop in the end of the winch post retainer strap, then attach into the boat bow eye. Winch the boat on the trailer until the boat is just touching the bow roller of the winch post assembly. Loosen the bow roller assembly and either raise or lower until the loop in the winch post retainer strap is positioned on the top of the boat bow eye. Re-tighten in new position. Winch the boat securely on the trailer.
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.
The wire harness for the three-light identication light must be re-
positioned where it comes from the black wire harness tubing to eliminate slack and sagging of the wiring.
Bunks:
Make sure the bunks are 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.
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.
Read your ShoreLand’r Owner ’s Guide and all safety decals on the trailer.
Wash and wax your trailer regularly. Always rinse your trailer after each use, especially when boating in salt or brackish water.
Re-check all fasteners for tightness before towing.
Check the tire pressure before towing.
Contact your authorized ShoreLand’r dealer if you experience a problem with your trailer.
For further information or assistance, contact ShoreLand’r at 1-800-859-3028 or visit www.shorelandr.com.
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 panic or sudden stop.
