TONGUE
Locate the tongue and install by sliding it in the front of the tongue channel.
Line the holes in the tongue with the holes in the tongue channel. Install the 1/2” x 4” hex bolt in the front cross hole and secure with
a 1/2” ange lock nut.
Remove the wire harness from the rear of the tongue. Place the wire harness and the brake hose through the hole provided in the tongue cover plate.
Secure the tongue cover plate in position with the same 1/2” x 1­1/2” hex bolt that secures the back on the tongue to the tongue channel of the frame. Secure with a 1/2” lock nut. Tighten both bolts just installed.
Diagram B
Plug the tongue wire harness ends into the frame harnesses by matching colors and ends. Push the extra wire provided into the rear of the tongue. The wire should be positioned so the only thing exposed to the outside of the tongue and side frame is the black wire loom.
TONGUE BRAKE HOSE CONNECTION Locate the brass brake line coupling. Remove the plastic cap from
the tting on the end of the tongue hose. Thread into one end of the
coupling. Remove the hose from the side frame enough to reach
into the rear of the tongue. Remove the plastic cap from the tting
on the side frame hose, then thread into the other end of the cou­pling. Tighten.
Push the excess hose back inside the tongue so that the coupling just installed is located inside the rear of the tongue.

SAFETY CHAINS
Locate the 1/2” x 5” hex bolt. Slip the bolt through a 1/2” at washer,
then place through the last link of one of the safety chains.
Place the bolt with chain attached through the hole provided in the bottom front of the actuator mount on the tongue. Place the second chain on the portion of the bolt extending through the other side
of the tongue. Place on another 1/2” at washer and hex lock nut.
Tighten. Place the inside jack spacer on the winch base so the center pro-
trusion ts down into the indent in the winch base.
WINCH POST INSTALLATION
The height that the bow eye is placed in your boat will determine the length winch post required. Once this is determined, attach the winch base to the tongue with three 1/2” x 4-1/2” carriage bolts and lock nuts.
Align the holes in the Prole 2000 mounting channel with the holes in the top of the winch base. Attach the front of the winch head mounting channel to the base by placing a 1/2” x 4-1/2” hex bolt through the hole closest to the front of the winch base. Secure with a lock nut. Do not tighten.
Note that the winch head can now be rotated either up or down. Identify the correct hole combination to use to position the bow eye roller just above the bow eye of your boat. When determined, se­cure in this position by placing the bushing as shown in Diagram D
inside the winch base so it aligns with the hole just identied for the
proper adjustment. Insert another 1/2” x 4-1/2” hex bolt through the determined mounting hole in the mounting channel and winch base making sure the bolt passes through the bushing as well. Secure with a 1/2” lock nut. Tighten all bolts.

Tire Size and Carrying Capacity Chart
Tire Size ............................ST215/75R 14-C
GVWR ...............................3740 lb.
Carrying Capacity ............2900 lb.
Axle ...................................Brake
Refer to the tire side wall for correct tire pressure.
Recommended carrying capacity is based on shipping weight of the trailer with standard equipment. Adding optional equip­ment may decrease the trailer’s carrying capacity.
SPRINGS
Position the axle so it is properly aligned with the trailer. The end of the axle that has the brake line hose attached must be to the right side of the trailer when standing at the rear of the trailer and look­ing forward. This positioning places the disc brake calipers on the backside of the axle.
Place the springs on the topside of the spring pads welded to the axle. (See Diagram D). Note that 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 as shown. Next place the 1/2” x 6-1/2” U-bolts down over the top of the spring clamp, spring and axle as shown.
Place the spring and axle U-bolt plate onto the ends of the two U­bolts just placed around the axle. Secure with 1/2” 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.
AXLE
Place one of the spring bracket bushings 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 other spring bracket.
Position the axle under the frame, then hook the hook loop of the spring around the bushings just installed. Note that if the axle is positioned too low when trying to hook, 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 3-1/4” hex bolts and lock nuts.
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts not tightened at this time.
ONE AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION
Cut the tape securing the brake line hose to the axle. Re­move the brass plug from the port in the brass block on the right brake caliper. Thread in the brake hose male end and tighten. Repeat on opposite side of axle.
Carefully pull brake line hose from the side frame tube, threading it through the brake line clip and down to the port in the brass block on the right caliper. Remove the plastic cap and thread into the port on the brass block and tighten. Insert grommet into the brake line clip to protect hose. All bleeding of the line can be done through the bleeder on the caliper.
Fill the actuator reservoir with brake fluid and bleed the line per the instructions in the brake manual. All bleeding to the line can be done through the bleeders on the left calipers.
ATTACHING THE AXLE HOSE TO THE SPRING PLATE
It is important that the brake hose on each end of the axle be at­tached to the spring plate to eliminate the loops that are formed in the hose when it is attached to the calipers. Doing so will eliminate the possibility of the hose getting caught or damaged while towing.
Locate one of the hose clamps. Spread open the clamp so it can be slipped around the hose in the loop that is formed under the spring as it is routed to the caliper. Once in position, squeeze the clamp back together.
Raise the hose clamp and the loop up until the hose clamp is on top of the spring bracket raising the loop up so it is on the back side of the axle. Align the hole in the clamp with the hole in the rear of the spring bracket between the two U-bolts.
Place a No. 10 flat washer on a No. 10 x 1” machine bolt. Insert the bolt into the clamp, then down through the spring bracket. Place another No. 10 flat washer over threaded end of bolt and secure with a No. 10 hex nut. Tighten.
Repeat this process on the other loop on the other end of the axle.
TIRE & WHEEL ASSEMBLIES
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.

BUNKS
Locate the bunks. Position one of them so it is above the Equiload arms on the trailer. Align the holes in the bunk brackets attached to the bunk with the holes in the ends of the Equiload arms. Secure with 3/8” X 1” hex bolts and lock nuts. Tighten but do not over tight­en because the bunks must be able to rotate enough to conform to the bottom of the boat.
Repeat on the other bunk.
POST LOAD GUIDES (See Diagram A - Detail C)
Locate the post load guides. Position one of them as shown on the rear cross member of the trailer frame. Drop a 1/2” X 3-9/16” x 7-1/4” square U-bolt down through the holes in the load guide so one leg of the U-bolt is on each side of the cross member. Pace on
an adjustable bunk bracket clamp so the legs of the bracket t up
around the cross member. Place on one of the 1-1/2” wide X 5” long straps over the legs of the U-bolt. Next place a cup washer onto the U-bolt legs so the cup is down. Place on a 3” compression spring on each leg of the U-bolt, then a second cup washer on each U-bolt leg so the cup is up. Secure the parts on the U-bolt legs with 1/2
ange lock nuts. Tighten. Note that the load guide can be slid in out
from the center line of the trailer to accommodate for different width boats. Adjust for width once the boat is on the trailer.
Repeat the above process on the other load guide.

TRAILER ADJUSTMENTS
The adjustment of the trailer to your boat is very important not only for the trailer, but also the boat. Failure to do so may lead to poten­tial failure or damage to either the trailer or boat. Adjust as follows:
Axle Adjustment
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 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.
Winch Post
The winch post is pre-assembled. If it does not t, use the following instructions to adjust to properly t your boat.
Once all other adjustments are complete the winch post can be ad­justed. Slide the winch post base backward on the tongue until the bow roller comes in contact with the boat. This bow roller needs to be positioned directly above the boat bow eye to prevent your boat from moving forward in the event of a sudden stop. It can be moved up or down by removing the back bolt that mounts the winch head to the base. When this bolt is removed, the head can be rotated up
or down to reach the desired height required to t your boat. Once
in this position, align the closest pair of holes in the brackets and reinsert the bolt just removed. Tighten. Attach the winch strap and crank winch tight. Attach the bow eye safety chain into the bow eye of the boat as well. This is just another level of protection to keep your boat and trailer together as one unit.
Best towing is achieved when the tongue weight is 5-7% of the total gross load of the complete unit.
Wire harnesses and brake line lines will need care when moving the axle assembly.
Rear Support System
Place the boat on the trailer so that the transom is located at the rear of the support system. The transom of the boat should be with­in 1-2” of the end of the bunks.
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.
Front Support System Bunk
Adjust the bunks up so that there is approximately 1-2 inches clear­ance between the keel of the boat and the center cross member pad.
Check the boat to make sure it is in the desired location forward and backward on the trailer. If location is as instructed above, tight­en the three bolts in the winch base securing the winch base to the tongue.
Once all adjustments are complete and checked, connect to the tow vehicle to make sure all of the lights are operating properly and match the tow vehicle.
Re-check all fasteners on the complete trailer to make sure they are all tight and ready for towing. All fasteners should be periodi­cally checked before towing.
See your ShoreLand’r Owner’s Guide for further technical infor­mation regarding your trailer and its components.
Recommended carrying capacity is based on shipping weight of the trailer with standard equipment. Adding optional equipment may decrease the trailer’s carrying capacity.
