TRAILER ADJUSTMENTS

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 placed on it. Best towing is achieved when the tongue

weight is 5-7% of the total gross load of the complete unit.

NOTE: The 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 end of the bunk. 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 bunks must be positioned far enough apart to give your boat

as much stability as possible while transporting. Position the bunks

so they are located just to the outside of the boat’s strake. This will

help center your boat and assist when loading.

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 the rollers are just

to the outside of the strake. The rollers need to be adjusted so

that you have a minimum of 1” to 2” of clearance between the

keel of the boat and the cross member pad. This will

help center the boat when loading and unloading.

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 front keel roller system

creating a three-point support system. The keel roller sys-

tem is designed to fit most boats without further adjustment,

however there is considerable difference between boat

bottom designs and certain lines of boats will re-

quire the front cros s member to be adjuste d up from

its normal shipping position which is the down position.

Determine how high the front cross member will have to be raised to

t the boat. Note that the front cross member can be adjusted in four

different heights ranging from its down position to a position where

the cross member is at. Loosen the two 3/8” X 5” carriage bolts

located at the outer end of the channels of the front roller assembly.

(See Page 5) Remove the two 3/8” X 3” carriage bolts attaching

the center support channel to the front cross member. Raise the

complete assembly up. Align the desired holes in the cen-

ter support channel with the holes in the cross frame. Re-

insert the two bolts just removed. Place on the lock nuts

removed. Tighten. Tighten the nuts again on the two bolts loos-

ened at the ends of the channels of the front roller assembly.

Adjustment is complete.

Winch Post Adjustment

Slide the winch post assembly back towards the boat. The bow stop

roller needs to be located directly above the boat bow eye to prevent

your boat from moving froward in the event of a sudden stop.

Note that the outer winch base has several holes of adjustment.

Changing the bolt location will change the angle of the winch post

and will raise or lower the height of the bow roller. Choose the

bolt location which best matches it to the bow eye height.

The inner and outer winch post channels can telescope

either in or out with respect to each other to lengthen or

shorten the overall length of the post. Loosen the two bolts

located on the back, inside of the channels. Attach the winch

strap into the bow eye and crank the winch strap in until

the bow eye is located in it’s proper position just above the

bow eye. Slide the inner post in or out to a desired length.

Once the bow stop roller is located in it’s proper position above the

bow eye, tighten the bolts that secure the assembly to the tongue.

Attach the bow eye safety chain into the bow eye as well.

This is another level of protection to keep your trailer and

boat together as one unit. It may 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 t. If desired t has been achieved, tighten all fasten-

ers that may have either been left loose or have been

loosened to do the adjusting.

components.
