springs on the top side of the spring pads welded to the axle. (See

chassis Diagram D). Note that the hook end of the spring must be

mounted to the rear of the trailer. Place a spring clamp on the top

center of the spring as shown. Next place the 1/2” x 6-1/2” U-bolts

down over the top of the spring clamp, spring and axle as shown.

Place the spring and axle U-bolt plate onto the ends of the two U-

bolts just placed. Secure in place with 1/2” lock nuts. Thread onto

the U-bolts but do not tighten securely until the complete unit is in

position on the trailer. Repeat on the other spring.

AXLE

Place one of the spring bracket bushings into the rear of the spring

bracket and secure with a 9/16” x 3 1/4” hex bolt and hex lock nut.

Repeat in other spring bracket.

Position the axle under the frame, then hook the hook loop of the

spring around the bushings just installed. Note that if the axle is

positioned too low when trying to hook, the hooks will not hook

around the bushings.

Raise the front of the springs up so they align with the front hole

of the spring bracket. Secure in place with 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolts

and lock nuts.

Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts not tightened at this time.

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. of torque using

the rotation pattern as shown in the ShoreLandr’s Owners Manual.

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

cally 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 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 backwards.

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.

Note: Wire harnesses will need care when moving the axle assem-

bly.

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 transom. This gives

you maximum support on the transom.

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 a strake. The rollers need to be adjusted so that you

have a minimum of one to two inches of clearance between the

keel of the boat and the center cross member pads. 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 be-

ing made. Final tightening will be done at the end of the adjusting

process.

FRONT SUPPORT SYSTEM

XR SERIES ROLLER

The front roller assemblies on the XR series will need to be adjusted

to t your boat. Place the roller assemblies so that the outside set

of rollers is just to the outside of a strake if your boat has strakes.

This is a desired location if the front of the boat isn’t setting to high

on the trailer with respect to the frame. Positioned as described will

help with centering your boat. If there are no strakes the roller as-

semblies can be positioned anywhere.

As a rule, when the XR roller arm assemblies are moved away from

the centerline of the trailer the front of the boat will be lowered with

respect to the trailer frame. The rollers should be moved outward

until the keel of the boat is within 1-2 inches of the front cross mem-

ber pad. The boat should be kept as low as possible on the trailer

for better towing but must also be positioned so that the front of the

boat is either level or slightly higher in front that the rear. The boat

will unload easier if the front of the boat is slightly higher than the

rear.

WINCH POST

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. At¬tach the winch strap and

crank the 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

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.

Recheck all fasteners on the complete trailer to make sure they are

all tight and ready for towing. All fasteners should be periodically

check before towing.

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

mation regarding your trailer and its components.

Refer to the tire side wall for correct tire pressure.
