TRAILER ADJUSTMENTS

Place the boat on the trailer so that the transom of the boat is posi-

tioned at the rear of the bunks.

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.

ADJUST AS FOLLOWS:

Pull the boat on the trailer. As you pull the boat on the trailer check

to make sure the bunks are high enough and close enough to keep

the keel of the boat from hitting the cross members as it is loaded

and unloaded. However, it is very important that they are spaced as

far apart as possible because the farther they are spaced apart, the

more stable your boat will be on the trailer when towing. Allow the

boat to rest on the front support pad on the tongue and the bunks.

BUNK ADJUSTMENT

Once the boat clears the cross members the bunks must be

checked that they are properly spaced. If they aren’t, they can be

adjusted either in or out by moving the bunk brackets to a new

set of holes provided in the cross members. The bunks must be

spaced equal distances from the centerline of the trailer. When the

proper location is achieved, tighten the nuts and bolts holding the

bunk brackets to the frame.

ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENTS

The bunks can also be adjusted for height in case additional clear-

ance is needed for either the cross members or fenders.

The bunks can be positioned so the extra bunk past the mount-

ing brackets is either forward or backward. This adjustment can

be used to either obtain proper tongue weight or else give better

support to longer boats.

FRONT SUPPORT PAD

The front support pad can be adjusted anywhere forward or back-

ward on the tongue to best t and support your boat. It can also be

adjusted for height in the event you need it adjusted higher to reach

your boat keel. Once adjusted in the proper location, tighten the

mounting bolts and nuts.

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 V-block 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. Note that the winch may have to be moved as

well to accomplish the height change.

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.

The axle is not adjustable on this model trailer. To change the

tongue will require you to place the additional gear in the boat in

the correct location. Moving the added weight forward or backward

will change the 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 respective

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.
