TRAILER AdJUSTMENTS
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 assembly
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: The wire harness will need care when moving the
assembly.
Rear Support System
Place the boat on the trailer so that the transom is located
at the end of the bunk. The center of the rear rollers on
the roller rack should be approximately 4” from the tran-
som. This gives you maximum support on the transom.
The bunks must be 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 the boat’s strake. This will
help center your boat and assist when loading.
FRONT SUPPORT SYSTEM
Bunk
The front bunks should be adjusted either in or out so that the bunk
will continue to run just to the outside of the strake of the boat. Adjust
the bunks up so that there is approximately 1” clearance between
the keel of the boat and the center cross member pad.
Winch Post Adjustment
Slide the winch post assembly back towards the boat. The bow stop
roller needs to be located directly above the boat bow eye to prevent
your boat from moving froward in the event of a sudden stop.
Note that the outer winch base has several holes of
adjustment. Changing the bolt location will change the angle of the
winch post and will raise or lower the height of the bow roller. Choose
the bolt location which best matches it to the bow eye height.
The inner and outer winch post channels can telescope
either in or out with respect to each other to lengthen or
shorten the overall length of the post. Loosen the two bolts
located on the back, inside of the channels. Attach the winch
strap into the bow eye and crank the winch strap in until
the bow eye is located in it’s proper position just above the
bow eye. Slide the inner post in or out to a desired length.
Once the bow stop roller is located in it’s proper position above the bow
eye, tighten the bolts that secure the assembly to the tongue.
Attach the bow eye safety chain into the bow eye as well.
This is another level of protection to keep your trailer and
boat together as one unit. It may be used to keep your
boat on the trailer while loading and unloading at the ramp,
especially with a roller trailer.
Adjustments are now complete. double check your boat
for fit. If desired fit has been achieved, tighten all fasten-
ers that may have either been left loose or have been
loosened to do the adjusting.
See your ShoreLand’r Owner ’s Guide for further
technical information regarding your trailer and its
components.
