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 poten-

tial 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 backward.

The distance that the axle assembly has to be moved will vary be-

cause 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.

Wire harnesses and brake line lines 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 transom of the boat should be with-

in 1-2” of the end of the bunks.

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 to the outside of a strake or else

have the strake located between the bunks. The bunk positioning

is a pre-determined position that will work best for your particular

boat.

Front Support System

Bunk

Adjust the bunks up so that there is approximately 1-2 inches clear-

ance between the keel of the boat and the center cross member

pad.

Winch Post

The winch post is pre-adjusted to t the boat. If it does not, use the

following instructions to adjust to properly t your boat.

Once all other adjustments are complete the winch post can be ad-

justed. 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. 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.

Check the boat to make sure it is in the desired location forward

and backward on the trailer. If location is as instructed above, tight-

en the three bolts in the winch base securing the winch base to the

tongue.

Once all adjustments are complete and checked, connect to the

tow vehicle to make sure all of the lights are operating properly and

match the tow vehicle.

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 checked before towing.

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

mation regarding your trailer and its components.

Recommended carrying capacity is based on shipping

weight of the trailer with standard equipment. Adding

optional equipment may decrease the trailer’s carrying

capacity.
