FINAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Remove the hardware bag from the frame, remove
parts and sort by size.

TONGUE

The tongue is shipped separate of the frame. Locate
the appropriate 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” lock nut.

Remove the wire harness from the rear of the
to ngue. Place the w ire h arness and the b rake
l i n e ( I f e q u i p p e d w i t h b r a k e s ) t h r o u g h
the hole provided in the tongue cover plate.

Secure the tongue cover plate in position with the same
1/2” x 1-1/2” 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.

Plug the tongue wire harness ends into the frame
harnesses by matching colors and ends. Push the
extra wire provided either into the rear of the tongue
or else remove the grommets in the side frames
and place the extra wire in the side frame. Replace
grommets just removed.

SAFETY CHAINS

Locate the 1/2” x 5” hex bolt. Slip the bolt through a
1 / 2 ” fl a t w a s h e r , t h e n pl a c e t h r o u g h t h e
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” flat washer and hex lock nut.
Tighten.

WINCH POST ASSEMBLY

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 Profile 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 bo w ey e of your boat. When
determined, secure in this position
by placing the bushing as shown in
Diagram C inside the winch base so it
aligns with the hole just identified 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.

SPRINGS

Position the axle so it is properly aligned
with the trailer. Place the springs on the
top sid e of the spring pads welded to
the axle. (See chassis 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 U-bolts just placed. Se­cure in place 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.

Recommended carrying capacity is based on
shipping weight o f the trailer with standard
eq uipme nt. Adding o ption al equ ipmen t may
decrease the trailer’s carrying capacity.

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

bra c ket. Secu r e in place wi t h 9/16” x
3-1/4” hex bolts and lock nuts.

Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts not
tightened at this time.

TIRE & WHEEL ASSEMBLY

Moun t th e ti r e an d wh e el 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.

R SERIES

The R-series roller rack is installed by placing the roller arm
assembly mounting channel over the rear cross member
and securing in place with a 1/2” x 4-1/2” hex bolt and lock
nut. (See Diagram A). Note that it should be left loose until
the boat is placed on the trailer. Once the proper positions is
determined, it may be tightened. Repeat on the other
roller arm assembly.

The short stabilizer bunk is installed to the adjustable bunk
bracket on the front cross member with a 3/8” x 1” hex bolt
and lock nut. (See Diagram A).

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.

TRAILER ADJUSTMENTS

When the desired position is determined, tighten only enough
to hold the rollers from moving while the other adjustments
are being made. Final tightening will be done at the end of
the adjusting process.

FRONT SUPPORT SYSTEM
ROLLER

The keel of the boat must rest on the center of the front keel
roller system creating a three-point support system. The keel
roller system is designed to fit most boats without needing any
further adjustment, however there is considerable differences
in boat bottom designs and certain lines of boats will require
a riser. One riser is shipped inside the rear keel guide roller
bracket. This can be removed and bolted on the bottom side
of the keel guide roller bracket so it is between it and the keel
cradle itself. This will raise the front end of your boat 3/4”. In
the event that this is not enough, an additional one can be
added to the other keel guide roller bracket.

AXLE ADJUSTMENT

The amount of tongue weight on your trailer can be adjusted
as follows:

Once the height of the roller cradle assembly is established
the stabilizer pads can be adjusted. This is accomplished by
sliding the pad up against the boat bottom by hand. It is not

assembly away from the boat. Place the U-bolt that holds the

This bow roller needs to be positioned directly above the

boat bow eye to prevent your boat from moving forward in

REAR SUPPORT SYSTEM

1. Place the boat on the trailer so that the transom is
located at the rear of the support system. The center of the
rear rollers on the roller rack should be approximately 4”
from the transom. This gives you maximum support on the
transom.

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 fit your

boat. Once in this position, align the closest pair of holes in

the brackets and reinsert the bolt just removed. Tighten. At-

Reattach the rear pivot to the side frame with the bolts just

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.
The wire harness for the three-light identification light must be
repositioned where it comes from the side frame to the rear

clearance between the keel of the boat and the center cross

and unloading.
