closest pair of holes in the front of the winch post and the
mounting channel. Insert another bolt in the aligned holes.
Tighten. Attach the winch strap and crank winch tight.
Adjust the winch post for the second PWC as described
above.
Adjustments are now complete. Double check for fit. If de-
sired fit 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.
All fasteners should be periodically checked before towing.
See your ShoreLand’r Owner’s Guide for further technical
information regarding your trailer and its components.
FINAL ADJUSTMENT:
Place the PWC’s on the trailer so the rear of the machines
are positioned at the rear of the bunks. Check the bunk po-
sitioning for clearance with the strakes. Loosen the U-bolts
securing the PWC bunk brackets to the crossmembers and
slide the bunks either in or out so that they are located just to
the outside of matching strakes. This will not only help with
loading but will also give you proper support for your machine.
Re-tighten the bunks when in the proper location. Repeat on
the other machine.
Note the PWC bunk brackets also have multiple holes for
raising or lowering the position that the machine sets on the
trailer with respect to the frame and fenders. It may require
a change in the height adjustment to clear the fenders on
certain machines.
TRAILERADJUSTMENTS
The adjustment of the trailer to your boat is very important
not only for the trailer, but also the PWC’s. Failure to do so
may lead to potential failure or damage to either the trailer
or PWC’s.
AXLE ADJUSTMENT
The amount of tongue weight on your trailer can be adjusted
as follows:
To lower the tongue weight, adjust the axle assembly for-
ward. To increase the tongue weight, adjust the axle back-
ward.
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 PWC’s placed on it. The tongue weight is also
dependant on whether your trailer is equipped with a stor-
age box and how much gear you will normally carry in 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 line lines (if equipped with
brakes) will need care when moving the axle assembly.
WINCH POST ADJUSTMENT
Once all other adjustments are complete the winch post can
be adjusted. Slide the winch post backward until the bow
roller comes in contact with the PWC. Align the rear hole
in the bottom of the winch post with the closest hole in the
frame mounting channel. Insert a 3/8” hex bolt into the rear
hole. Position the bow roller directly above the bow eye to
prevent your PWC from moving forward in the event of a
sudden stop. The winch post can be rotated on the rear bolt
just installed until the bow roller is at the desired height re-
quired to fit your PWC. Once in the correct position, align the
