TONGUE ASSEMBLY Place the frame to be assembled on saw horses or stands to assist in the assembly. Remove all items that are banded to the frame. Sort the items in the hardware box by item and the hardware by size. Locate the tongue for the trailer. Note that there are three different lengths of tongues designed to fit this particular frame. The length of tongue will determine the length of boat that can be placed on the trailer when assembled. The 7 foot tongue will accommodate boats up to 12 feet in length, the 8’­6” tongue will fit boats 12-14 feet in length and the 10 foot tongue is used for boats 14-16 feet long. See Diagram B. Once the proper tongue is identified place it on the stands so it can be prepared for installation into the frame. Locate t he two amber side marker lights shipped in the hardware box. Uncoil the wire and insert the plug end into the larg er, center hole that is drilled in the side of the tongue. As the wire is inserted into the hole direct the wire so that it will go to the forward end of the tongue. Pull the wire out the front of the tongue. It will be connected to the tongue harness at a later time. Attach the light to the tongue using two (2) No. 10 x 3/4” self-tapping screws provided. Repeat this process on the other light on the other side of the tongue. Locate the tongue wire harness. Insert the end of the harness with the small plug into the hole located in the top of the tongue. Pull the wire backward through the tongue until the end comes out the rear of the tongue. As the wire harness is inserted note that there are two single bullet wires towards the front plug of the tongue wire harness. Pull these wires forward as the wire harness is inserted into the tongue. Plug the single wires from the side marker lights installed earlier into the two single bullets of the tongue harness. Push the additional back into the front of the tongue to keep it from damage during use. Place a rubber grommet around the wire harness and in the hole in the top of the tongue to protect the wires from damage during use. Route the harness plug at the rear of the tongue through the hole provided in the side of the tongue. Pull both the plug a nd the white ground wire out the hole. They will be attached later once the tongue is installed in the frame. Locate the bolt on tongue stand Item No. 1 in Diagram B. Look at the bottom side of the tongue and locate the slotted key slot hole in the tongue. Note that one end of the tongue stand has a dart or arrow shaped end. With the tongue stand positioned 90 degrees to the centerline of the tongu e, insert the dart or arrow end of the tongue stand into the key slotted hole. Once it is inserted, turn the tongue stand 90 degrees so that it now is in line with the centerline of the tongue. Attach the front end of the tongue stand to the tongue using a 1/2” x1” hex bolt and flange lock nut. Tighten. Locate the safety chains. Place a 3/8” flat washer on a 3/8” x 1” hex bolt. Insert the bolt through the last link in the safety chain and then into the lower hole provided in the front of the tongue. Secure with a 3/8” flange lock nut. Tighten. on the
the bolts are installed, tighten all nuts left loose at this time. Insert the tongue assembly through the front channel of the frame far enough so the rear of the tongue is inserted into the front cross member. Align the cross hole in the front channel and the tongue and insert a 3/8” x 4” hex bolt. Secure with a 3/8” flange lock nut. Place a second 3/8” x 4” hex bolt down through the hole in the rear of the tongue and the front cross member. Place on a 3/8” flange lock nut. Tighten.
Connect the tongue wire harness into the side frame harness of the trailer by matching plugs. Attach the white ground wire of the tongue harness to the frame using a No. 10 x 3/4” self-tapping screw provided so that a good ground connection is made between the frame of the trailer and the tow vehicle. Push all extra wires used to make the connection back into the tongue. Place a second rubber grommet into the hole where the wires exit the tongue to protect them from damage during normal use.
REAR ROLLER RACKS Locate the swivel block molded plastic pieces. Slide them onto the ends of the roller arm weldment as shown. Place the channel bracket of the roller pin assembly down over the plastic pieces and secure them together with two (2) 3/8” x 2-3/4” carriage bolts and 3/8” flange lock nuts. Note that one bolt will be on the top side of the metal tube while the other will be installed so the bolt passes through the large hole in the metal tube. This will allow the roller assemblies to rotate on the roller arm weldment to conform to the boat bottom and still support the load applied to it when the boat if carried on the trailer. Tighten. Repeat this process on the other roller arm weldment. Loosen the two bolts that attach the rear pivot to the tra iler side frames and rotate the rear pivot from it ship position down into its normal position. Locate the roller rack mounting plates. Place two of the 3/8” x 2-7/16” x 4” U-bolts into the holes of the plate as shown and thread on 3/8” flange lock nuts.
Slide the plate with U-bolts just installed onto the rear pivot so that the roller rack mounting plate is to the front side of the rear pivot with one U-bolt above the rear pivot and one is below the rear pivot cross member. Push the U-bolts rearward creating all of the spacing between the inside of the U-bolts and the back side of the rear pivot cross member. Orient one of the roller arm assemblies so that the roller pin assemblies tip inward towards the centerline of the trailer. Drop the mounting tube of the roller arm weldment down inside the U-bolts and behind the rear pivot cross member. Adjust the roller arm assemblies up to the desired height to carry your boat properly and tighten the U-bolts. Assembly is complete.

KEEL ROLLER INSTALLATION Remove the keel roller assemblies from the hardware bo x. Position them on the back side of the front two cross members of the frame as shown in Diagram A. Attach them to the cross members by placing a 1/2” star washer on a 1/2” x 1-1/4” hex bolt. Align the slot in the keel roller bracket with the hole provided in the cross member. Insert the bolt into the slot, then into the hole in the cross member and attach to the cross member with a 1/2” lock washer and hex nut. Repeat this process on the second bolt used to attach the keel roller assembly to the cross member.
Repeat the above process on the second keel roller assembly. The keel roller assemblies can be left loose until the boat is placed on the trailer for final adjustment.
AXLE & WHEEL ASSEMBLY Locate the axle for the trailer. Note that there isn’t a right or left to the axle assembly. Place one of the springs on top of the spring pad welded to the axle as shown in Diagram D. Drop two (2) 3/8” x 2 3/16” x 2” U-bolts over the springs and down through the holes in the spring pad. Secure with 3/8” flange lock nuts. Repeat this process on the other spring mounting it so that it is oriented on the a xle the same as th e first spring. Slip a spring bushing spacer into the rear of the spring bracket, align the bushing with the hole in the bracket and secure in position using a 1/2” x 3” hex bolt and 1/2” flange lock nut. Tighten. Repeat on the other spring bracket. Slide the axle assembly under the trailer frame, raise up and slide the rear of the springs above the bushings just installed. Rotate the assembly up until the front spring eyes align with the front holes in the spring bracket. Insert a 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt and secure with a 9/16” lock nut. T ighten. Tighten the U-bolt attaching the springs to the axles at this time and any other bolts that may have been left loose for ease of assembly. Place the tire and wheel assemblies on the hubs and secure with the 1/2” tapered lock nuts. TIRE & WHEEL ASSEMBLIES
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2” fine threaded tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to 80-90 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.
TRAILER ADJUSTMENTS
Place the boat on the trailer so that the center of t he rear rollers on the roller rack are approximately 4” from the transom of the boat.
Check the boat for clearance with the fenders and tongue. Enough clearance is required between the two so that the boat does not contact the frame during loading and unloading.
REAR ROLLER RACK The spacing between the rollers on the roller rack can be changed so that they will adapt to the spacing of the boat strakes. To change the spacing remove the cotter key that holds the roller to the roller pin. Remove the washers and roller. Note that there is a spacer on the roller pin. This spacer can be installed either to the inside of outside of the roller. Depending where it is placed will change the spac ing with regards to the roller on the other end of the roller pin. The roller and spacer on the other end of the pin can be interchanged as well if needed. As a result the spacing can be changed either 1-1/2” or 3” between the rollers. Once installed in the proper location to fit your boat, reinstall the roller and washers. Secure in place with the cotter key just removed. The height of the roller rack with respect to the frame can be changed. Loosen the U-bolts attaching the roller arm assemblies to the rear pivot arm. Raise or lower the roller arm assemblies to the desired height, then retighten the U­bolts securing the roller rack assemblies in the new location. The roller rack spacing between the individual racks can be changed by sliding the roller arm assemblies to the desired location before tightening the U-bolts attaching them to the rear pivot arm. Note that they must be spaced the same distance out ward from the center line of the trailer for the boat to load straight. KEEL ROLLERS Check the front of the boat for clearance between the frame and tongue. The keel rollers have slotted holes so they can be adjusted up or down to raise or lower your boat. Position your boat as desired on the trailer. Loosen the bolts and nuts attaching the keel rollers to the cross members. Raise the keel roller assemblies up against the keel of the boat . Retighten in the new location. Note that the boat will settle into the keel rollers a little during normal use so it may be necessary to adjust them slightly higher to compensate for this.
WINCH POST Once the boat is in the desired location and correct height on the trailer the winch post can now be adjusted.
Slide the winch post on the tongue until it contacts the boat. Note that the V-block on the winch post must be positioned directly above the boat bow eye. This location is necessary to prevent the boat from sliding forward during normal use as well as in the event of a sudden stop. This positioning will also allow the winch strap to pull directly from the winch into the bow eye for better retention. Change the bow stop height by removing the bolts attaching it to the winch post. Relocate to the proper height and refasten with the bolts just removed. Note that the winch may have to be moved as well to accomplish the height change.

Once the winch post is set secure the winch post to the tongue with the three mounting bolts used to attach it to the tongue. The axle is not adjustable on this model trail er. To change the tongue will require you to place the addition al gear in the boat in the correct location. Moving the added weight forward or backward will change the tongue weight. A recommended tongue weight for your trailer is 7-10% of the total load including boat, motor, and 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. Note: All nuts and bolts must be tightened before towing. The law requires that the white ground wire on both the tongue wire harness and vehicle harness be properly grounded to respective trailer and vehicle frames. Re-check all fasteners on the complete trailer to make sure they are all tight and ready for towing. All fasteners shoul d be periodically check before towing.
See your ShoreLand’r Owner’s Guide for further technical information regarding your trailer and its components.
