TIRE & WHEEL ASSEMBLY

Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2” ne

threaded tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to 85-95 ft./lb.

torque using the rotation pattern as shown in the Shore-

Landr’s Owners Manual.

Re-torque the lug nuts after 50 miles driving and then peri-

odically thereafter.

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 for-

ward. To increase the tongue weight, adjust the axle back-

ward. The distance that the axle assembly has to be moved

will vary because it is directly related to the weight and cen-

ter of gravity of the boat placed on it.

Best towing is achieved when the tongue weight is 5-7% of

the total gross load of the complete unit.

Note: Wire harnesses and brake line lines (if equipped with

brakes) will need care when moving the axle assembly.

REAR SUPPORT SYSTEM

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 tran-

som. This gives you maximum support on the transom.

The rear cross member is adjustable forward or backward to

allow the trailer to be adjusted to various length boats on all

models except the XLW. This is accomplished by removing

the pivot bolt on holds each end of the rear pivot to the side

frame. Reposition the rear pivot arm into the other hole posi-

tion predrilled in the side frame.

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

removed. Tighten.

The wire harness for the three-light identication light must

be repositioned where it comes from the side frame to the

rear pivot to eliminate slack, and sagging of the wiring.

BUNKS

Make sure the bunks are positioned far enough apart to give

your boat as much stability as possible while transporting.

Position the bunks so they are located just the outside of a

strake that your boat may have. This will help center your

boat and assist when loading. The bunks need be adjusted

up high enough to keep the keel from resting on the center

pads. A minimum of one to two inches clearance is desir-

able.

FRONT BUNK SUPPORT

The front bunks should be adjusted either in or out so that

the bunk will continue to run just to the outside of the strake

of the boat. Adjust the bunks up so that there is approxi-

mately 1-2 inches clearance between the keel of the boat

and the center cross member pad.

WINCH POST

Once 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.

The 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. 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 t your

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

the brackets and reinsert the bolt just removed. Tighten.

Attach the winch strap and crank winch tight. Attach the bow

eye safety chain into the bow eye of the boat as well. This is

just another level of protection to keep your boat and trailer

together as one unit.

Adjustments are now complete. Double check your boat for

t. If the desired t 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.

Recheck 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.

See your ShoreLand’r Owner’s Guide for further technical

information regarding your trailer and its components.
