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 t 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.

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 t 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 nec-

essary to adjust them slightly higher to compensate for this.

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 back-

ward 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 t. If

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 re-

spective 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 periodi-

cally check before towing.

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

mation regarding your trailer and its components.
