the hook end of the spring must be 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. Re-

peat 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 rear axle under the frame, then hook the

loop of the springs around the bushings just installed.

Note that if the axle is positioned too low when trying

to hook, the loops will not hook around the bushings.

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

rear hole in the axle boogie just installed. Secure in

place with 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolts and lock nuts.

Install another spring bracket bushing in the front hole

on the rock arm assemblies. Secure with a 9/16” x 3-

1/4” hex bolt and lock nut. Tighten.

Hook the hook end of the springs mounted to the front

axle over the bushing just installed in the rocker arm

assembly. Swing the front of the spring up and attach

the front mounting hole in the spring bracket with an-

other 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt and lock nut.

Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts.

ONE AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION

Cut the tape securing the brake line hose to the axle.

Remove the brass plug from the port in the brass

block on the right brake caliper. Thread in the brake

hose male end and tighten to either 6-8 ft. lb. or 72-96

in. lb. of torque.

DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN Over tightening will cause

the brass block to crack and then leak.

Place the other end of the hose up through the hole

provided in the brake line clip bracket. Secure in place

with the U-shaped hose clip provided.

Remove the plastic cap from the end of the frame brake

line coming out of the side frame by the axle. Carefully

uncoil the brake line so that it will reach the end of the

hose just attached to the brake line bracket.

Thread the brake line ﬁtting into the brake line hose.

Tighten.

NOTE: The axle has brake ﬂuid installed in the calipers

and the axle line when it is assembled at the factory.

This is done to protect the inner parts of the brake sys-

tem during shipping and storage. The complete brake

system including the axle MUST be re-bled to ensure

that all air has been removed from the brake system.

For bleeding instructions see the UFP brake bleeding

manual or the ShoreLand’r Disc Brake Manual.

Fill the actuator reservoir with brake ﬂuid and bleed

the line per the instructions in the Brake Manual.

TIRE & WHEEL ASSEMBLY

Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2”

ﬁne threaded tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to 85-

95 ft./lb. torque using the rotation pattern as shown in

the ShoreLandr’s Owners Manual.

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

periodically thereafter.

TRAILER ADJUSTMENTS

The adjustment of the trailer to your boat is very im-

portant not only for the trailer, but also the boat. Fail-

ure to do so may lead to potential 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 assem-

bly forward. To increase the tongue weight, adjust the

axle 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: Wire harnesses and brake lines will need care

when moving the axle assembly.
