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.
Place the coupler on the top of the tongue. Align the holes in the
coupler with the holes in the tongue. Place a 1/2” x 4” hex bolt
through the back holes of the coupler and the tongue. Secure with
a 1/2” flange lock nut but do not tighten at this point.
See Diagram B.
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’ tongue will accommodate boats
12-14 feet in length, the 8’-6” tongue will fit boats 14’ - 16’ 6” in
length and the 10’ tongue is used for boats 15’ 6”- 18’ long.
Once the proper tongue is identified place it on the stands so it can
be prepared for installation into the frame. Locate the two amber
side marker lights shipped in the hardware box. Uncoil the wire and
insert the plug end into the larger, 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 and 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. 4 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 tongue, 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.
Place a 1/2” x 1” hex bolt through the front hole on one side of the
coupler and the tongue so that the head of the bolt is to the outside.
Place a 1/2” flange lock nut on the bolt inside the tongue. Repeat
this process on the other side of the tongue. Once 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 inside either the side frames of
the trailer or else 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.
Winch Post Assembly
The winch post assembly is pre-assembled and is shipped banded
to the frame. See Diagram C. Place the winch post on the tongue in
the approximate location. Attach to the tongue using three (3) 3/8”
x 4” hex bolts and 3/8” flange lock nuts. It can be left loose until the
boat is placed on the trailer for final adjustment.
Place the winch handle on the drive shaft of the winch by mating
the flat sides of the drive shaft with the punched hole in the winch
handle. Secure the handle to the drive shaft with the 1/2” lock nut
provided. Tighten.
Locate the bow eye safety chain in the hardware box. Place a 3/8”
x 1” carriage bolt into the square hole located in the small winch
bracket as shown in Diagram C. The head of the bolt is to be on the
top of the bracket. Place the chain over the bolt just installed on the
bottom side of the small winch bracket. Secure to the small winch
bracket with a 3/8” flat washer and flange lock nut. Tighten.
Locate the safety chains. Place a 3/8” flat washer on a 3/8” x 1-1/4”
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. Repeat on the other chain.

Refer to the tire side wall for correct tire pressure.
NOTE: Brakes available as optional equipment.
Axle and 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
axle the same as the 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. Tighten. 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 And 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.
Rear Roller Racks
Locate the swivel block molded plastic pieces (Item No. 12 in Diagram D). 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 trailer side
frames and rotate the rear pivot from its ship position down into its
normal position. Locate the roller rack mounting plates (Item No. 9
in Diagram E). 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 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 front side of the rear
pivot cross member. Place 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 now complete and ready to be adjusted to fit the boat
that it will carry.

Trailer Adjustments
Place the boat on the trailer so that the center of the rear rollers on
the roller rack is approximately 4” from the transom of the boat.
Check the boat for clearance with the frame 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 as well as the roller. This spacer can be installed either
to the inside or outside of the roller. Depending where it is placed
will change the spacing 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 U-bolt securing in the new
location.
The roller racks spacing between the individual rack 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.
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 bow eye roller 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.
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.
Place the bow eye safety chain in the bow eye of the boat as a
secondary means of keeping the boat attached to the trailer in the
event of a winch, winch strap or hook failure.
The axle is adjustable on this model trailer so that the proper tongue
weight can be achieved. To change the tongue weight remove the
four 3/8” x 2-3/4” hex bolts attaching the spring brackets and fender
to the trailer frame. The axle can then be moved forward or backward to get the proper 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.
Keel Roller
Check the front of the boat for clearance between the frame and
tongue. The keel roller has slotted holes so they can be adjusted up
or down to fit your boat. Once the boat is positioned on the trailer
as desired loosen the bolts and nuts attaching the keel roller to the
cross member. Raise the keel roller assembly up against the keel
of the boat. Retighten in the new location. Note that the boat will
settle into the keel roller a little during normal use so it may be necessary to adjust them slightly higher to compensate for this.
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 should be periodically check before towing.
See your ShoreLand’r Owner’s Guide for further technical information regarding your trailer and its components.
