complete process on the other support
arm.
Note that the bunk assemblies have two
height adjustments. The instructions are to
install them in the lowest position to keep
the center of gravity as low as possible for
towing. If required for fender clearance,
the bunks can be installed in the raised
position by mounting the bunk assemblies
to the bunk support arms using the lower
mounting hole.

ROCKER ARMS

Locate the rocker arms (Ref. No. 1 of the chassis
schematic). Note that the center bushing has a grease
zerk in it. Position a rocker arm up into the center channel
welded in the center of the tandem spring bracket so that
the grease zerk is pointing down. Align the holes in the
channel with the rocker arm. Insert a 3/4” x 4-1/2” hex bolt
from the outside in and secure in place with 3/4” lock nut.
Tighten. Repeat this process on the other rocker arm and
spring bracket. Grease the rocker at this time by applying
grease through the zerk just discussed.
NOTE: THE GREASE ZERK IS POSITIONED DOWN
SO THAT IT IS ACCESIBLE FOR SERVICING WHEN
NEEDED.

SPRINGS

Position the axles so they are properly aligned with the
trailer. The axles must be positioned so that the disc brake
calipers are on the back side of the axle.
Place the springs on the topside of the spring pads welded
to the axle. (See chassis diagram). Note that the hook end
of the spring must be 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 installed on the bottom side of the axle.
Secure in place with 1/2” lock nuts. Thread the nuts onto
the U-bolts but do not tighten securely until the complete
unit is mounted in position on the trailer. Repeat on the
other spring and the other axle.

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 on other spring bracket.
Position the rear 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 springs on the bushings, the hooks will not hook
around the bushings.
Raise the front of the springs up so they align with the
rear hole in the axle rocker arm. Secure in place with
9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolts and lock nuts.

Midwest Industries, Inc. Ida Grove, IA 51445 800.859.3028 www.shorelandr.com 0004361

Next install another spring bracket bushing in the front
hole on the rock arm assembly. Secure with a 9/16” x
3-1/4” hex bolt and lock nut. Tighten.
Hook the hook end of the springs mounted to the front
axle over the bushing just installed in the rocker arm

assembly.
Then swing the front of the spring up and attach to the
front mounting hole in the spring bracket with another
9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt and lock nut.
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts not tightened
at this time.

Brake Line Installation

Locate line clamps and 1/4” self tapping screws
provided in the kit. Thread the hose into the hole on
the bottom of the brass block on the right brake
calipers. Form the hose so that it can be placed in a
clip and attached to the spring plate with a #10-32 X1
machine screw, washers and a 10-32 hex nut to keep

it up in place under the leaf springs.
Route the hose along the back side of the axle and secure to
the axle with the five (5) clamps and self tapping screws. Note
that the axle is pre-drilled for the mounting screws.
Remove the plastic plug from the port in the brass block on
the left brake caliper. Thread the brake hose fitting into this
port place in a clip and attached to the spring plate with #10­32 X1 machine screw, washers and a 10-32 hex nut to hold
the hose in position making sure that it does not rub or touch
the spring. Tighten all fittings.
Repeat this process on the second axle.

fittings. Note that the coil in the line will absorb the vibration
created during towing.

Bleeding the Brake System

Bleed the brake system as specified in the brake manual.
The bleeding process is necessary to remove ALL air
entrapped in the system in order for the brake system to
function properly.

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
assembly 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 place on it.

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

Connecting the Two Axles Together and To the
Actuator

Locate the brass tee and the 18” brake hose. Thread the
male port of the tee into the female end of the brake hose
route the hose thru the clip on the back of the spring
bracket to the rear axle. Tighten.
Remove the plastic cap from the end of the frame brake
line coming out of the side frame by the axle. Carefully
pull the brake hose enough so that it will reach the port of
the tee just threaded into the brake hose. Thread the
brake hose fitting into the top port of
the tee and tighten.
Locate the 60” brake hose. Thread one end of the hose
into the remaining port of the tee installed in the previous
step. Route the hose thru the front brake line clip and
insert into the caliper on the second axle. Place a coil in
the line to use up any excess line and then connect the
hose to the side frame using clips and self tapping
screws to keep the hose from being damaged. Tighten all

Best towing is achieved when the tongue weight is 5- 7% of
the total gross load of the complete unit.

To move the axle assembly, loosen the U-bolts that secure
the assembly to the side frames. Move the assembly to the
desired location then re-tighten the U-bolts.

Note: The brake line and wire harness will need care when
moving the assembly.

Rear Support System

Place the boat on the trailer so that the transom is located
at the rear of the support system. On an RB bunk trailer, the
transom of the boat should be within 1-2” of the end of the
bunk. 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 rear pivot is
adjustable forward and backward to assist in adjusting the
trailer to various length boats. This is accomplished by
removing the pivot bolt that attaches the rear pivot to the
side frame and then sliding the assembly to the desired
position and re-attaching with the pivot bolt just removed.
The wire harness for the three-light identification light will
have to be rerouted as well.

RB Bunks

Make sure the bunks are positioned far enough apart to
give your boat as much stability as possible while

Midwest Industries, Inc. Ida Grove, IA 51445 800.859.3028 www.shorelandr.com 0004361
Page 13 of 14 4/29/2011

transporting. Position the bunks so they are located
just to the outside of a strake that your boat may have.
This will help center your boat and assist when loading.
The bunks need to be adjusted up high enough to keep
the keel from resting on the center pads. A minimum of
one to two inches of clearance is desirable.

Rollers

Position the roller racks so they are far enough apart to
give your boat stability while transporting. When the
desired width is achieved, move the roller rack system
so that one set of the rollers are just to the outside of a
strake if possible. The rollers need to be adjusted so
that you have a minimum of one to two inches of
clearance between the keel of the boat and the center
cross member pads. This will help center the boat
when loading and unloading.

When the desired position is determined, tighten only

enough to hold the bunks or 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
RB and 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.

Once the boat is positioned on the front roller system,
the stabilizer pads can be adjusted. This is
accomplished by sliding the pad up against the boat
bottom by hand. It is not necessary that they carry
much weight. They are designed to give your boat
added stability while being towed. It may be necessary
to adjust the assembly up so that they can be moved
further apart giving additional support. Pull the
assembly away from the boat. Place the U-bolt that
holds the assembly to the cross member in a lower
hole in the bracket. Then push the assembly back
against the boat. Tighten in position.

Winch Post

Now that 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. Loosen the three 1/2” hex bolts that clamp the
winch holder channel to the winch post. Attach the
winch strap into the bow eye and slide the winch holder
channel up or down to the desired position as you
crank the winch tight. Once the bow roller is located

just above the bow eye, tighten the three 1/2” hex bolts that
clamp the winch holder channel to the winch post. Tighten
the U-bolts that secure the winch post assembly to the
tongue. Attach the bow eye safety chain into the bow eye of
the boat as well. The chain is another level of unit the event
of an accident. It may also be used to keep your boat on the
trailer while loading and unloading at the ramp; especially
with a roller 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.

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. 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.

See your ShoreLand’r Owner’s Guide for further technical
information regarding your trailer and its components.
