Assembly Instructions:
Remove the small parts from the frame by cutting the banding. Re-
move the bolt bag and sort all the nuts and bolts by size.
Tongue: (Note: The tongue has two hole positions.)
Slide the tongue into the tongue channel to the hole location that
best fits your boat to trailer set-up. Secure with a 3/8” X 4” car-
riage bolt in the front and 3/8” X 3-7/16” X 4-1/8” square U-bolt, 1”
X 4-1/2” mounting strap and 3/8” flange lock nut in the rear of the
assembly. Thread the tongue wire harness through the tongue and
connect to the frame harness. Install grommets.
Safety Chain:
Insert a 3/8” X 1-1/4” hex bolt with a 3/8” flat washer and safety
chain through the lower hole on the front of the tongue. Secure with
a 3/8” flange lock nut. Repeat this procedure on the opposite side
of the tongue.
Coupler:
Mount the coupler onto the tongue with one (1) 1/2” X 4” hex bolt
and two (2) 1/2” X 1” hex bolts. Secure with 1/2” flange lock nuts.
Winch Post:
Attach the winch brace to the winch post assembly with a 3/8” X 4”
hex bolt in one (1) of the three (3) holes of adjustment. Position the
winch assembly on the tongue in the desired position and fasten
with a 3/8” X 3-7/16” X 4-1/8” square U-bolts, 1” X 4-1/2” mounting
straps and 3/8” flange lock nuts.
Axle:
Install the spring bushing in the rear spring brackets with 1/2” X 3-
1/4” hex bolts and 1/2” flange lock nuts. Position the axle under the
trailer with the spring eye to the front. Slip the flat end of the spring
in the rear spring bracket over the bushing and fasten the front
spring eye to the front of the spring bracket with 9/16” X 3-1/4” hex
bolts and 9/16” hex lock nuts.
Mount the tire and rim assemblies with 1/2” lug nuts and tighten to
85-95 ft./lbs. of torque.
Bunk:
Slide a 3/8” X 2-7/16” X 2-3/4” square bolt over the rear cross mem-
ber with the threads facing the FRONT. Place an adjustable bunk
bracket on the U-bolt legs and secure with 3/8” flange lock nuts.
Slide on a 3/8” X 2-7/16” X 2-3/4” square U-bolt over the front cross
member with the threads facing the REAR. Place an adjustable
bunk bracket on the U-bolt legs and secure with 3/8” flange lock
nuts. Fasten the bunk assembly to the adjustable bunk brackets
just mounted and secure with 3/8” X 1” hex bolts and 3/8” flange
lock nuts.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to your water vehicle hull, place the water ve-
hicle on the trailer, loosen bunk U-bolts so the bunks conform to
the hull. Tighten.
Tighten all fasteners before towing.
The law requires that the white wire on both the trailer and vehicle
wire harness be grounded to the trailer and towing vehicle.
Tongue Weight Adjustment
The tongue weight should be 7% to 10% of the total gross weight
of the trailer and boat combined.
The tongue weight can be increased by moving the axle backward
or decreased by moving the axle forward. Loosen and remove the
bolts securing the fenders and spring brackets to the side frame,
reposition the axle and then reinstall in the new location using the
bolts just removed.
