IMPORTANT: All hardware for your trailer is stainless
steel. It is important that you use an anti-seize material
on the bolt threads when assembling to prevent gaulding.

Frame Assembly
Tongue:
Slip the tongue into the front frame cap of the frame. Line up the holes,
fasten the tongue in the frame with two (2) 1/2” X 3-9/16” X 5” square
u-bolts, 1/2” belveled aluminum washers, 1/2” stainless steel washers and
1/2” hex lock nuts with nylon inserts at the front of the tongue plates; fasten
the tongue in the rear with a 1/2” X 4-1/2” hex bolt and 1/2” flat washer
under the nut and bolt.
Safety Chain:
Mount the safety chains to the front of the tongue using 1/2” X 1-1/2” hex
bolt (Ref#4) with a 1/2” stainless steel flat washer at the head of the bolt,
followed by a safety chain through the drop tongue tube. Secure with 1/2”
stainless steel hex lock nuts with nylon inserts on the inside of the drop
tongue tube.
Brake Line
Place one end of the 58” tongue brake line
(Located in box No. 68140) into the hole in the
top of the tongue located just behind the front
joint of the two side frames. Insert until the end
of the line comes out the front of the tongue.
Place the actuator into its approximate location on the tongue. Remove the plastic plug in
the rear of the actuator and thread the brake
line into the port. Tighten. Align the actuator to
be mounted to the tongue. Place a grommet
around the brakeline where it comes out of the
top of the tongue to keep it from vibrating and
chaffing as it is being towed.
Actuator:
Mount the actuator (Ref#10) on the drop the
tongue using three (3) 1/2” X 4-1/2” hex bolts
White Ground Wire Installation
Pull the white wire out the hole in the tongue
with either the brown and yellow or brown and
green plug. Place the self-tapping screw
provided through the round metal ring on the
white ground wire of the tongue harness just
pulled out. Attach the ground wire to the main
frame by driving the screw into the bottom
flange of the side frame. This will assure a
positive ground for the lighting.

(Ref#3) and 1/2” stainless steel hex lock nuts
with nylon inserts.
Form the remaining end of the brake line so it
will mate up with the brake line running down
the side frame. Secure the two lines together
with the brass coupling provided in Hardware
box 68140. Tighten to prevent leaks but do not
over tighten.

Winch Post Assembly
Winch Post:
Mount the winch post assembly to the tongue at
a location that best fits your watercraft. Secure
the winch post base weldment (Ref#2) to the
tongue using two (2) 1/2” X 3-9/16” X 5” square
u-bolts (Ref#11) and four (4) 1/2” stainless steel
hex lock nuts with nylon inserts. Mount the winch
post angle tube weldment (Ref#3) on the tongue
tube at a height that would best fit your watercraft using a 1/2” X 3-9/16” X 5” square u-bolt
over the flange as shown in the drawing. Place
the legs of the U-bolt into the clamp (Ref#21)
and secure with two (2) 1/2” stainless steel hex
lock nuts with nylon inserts.
