Keel Roller Installation
Remove the keel roller assembly from the hardware box. Posi-
tion it on the back side of the front cross member of the frame as
shown in Detail C. Attach it to the cross member by placing a 1/2”
star washer on a 1/2” x 1-1/4” hex bolt. Align the slot in the keel
roller bracket with the hole provided in the cross member. Insert the
bolt into the hole and attach to the cross member with a 1/2” lock
washer and hex nut. Repeat this process on the second bolt used
to attach the keel roller assembly to the cross member.
The keel roller assembly can be left loose until the boat is placed on
the trailer for final adjustment.
Winch Post Assembly
The winch post assembly is pre-assembled and is shipped banded
to the frame. See Diagram B. Place the winch post on the tongue in
the approximate location. Attach to the tongue using three (3) 3/8”
x 4” hex bolts and 3/8” flange lock nuts. It can be left loose until the
boat is placed on the trailer for final adjustment.
Place the winch handle on the drive shaft of the winch by mating
the flat sides of the drive shaft with the punched hole in the winch
handle. Secure the handle to the drive shaft with the 1/2” lock nut
provided. Tighten.
Locate the bow eye safety chain in the hardware box. Place a 3/8”
x 1” carriage bolt into the square hole located in the small winch
bracket as shown in Diagram D. The head of the bolt is to be on the
top of the bracket. Place the chain over the bolt just installed on the
bottom side of the small winch bracket. Secure to the small winch
bracket with a 3/8” flat washer and flange lock nut. Tighten.
Jack:
It is recommended that the jack be mounted on the right side of the
tongue. This will place it on the opposite side of the winch handle
to eliminate the possibility of the two interfering when being oper-
ated.
Remove the hardware bag from the jack and sort all items by size.
Lay the mounting plate flat so the area that the jack will be mounted
is raised above the outside edges. Locate the cloverleaf shaped
washer. Place it on the mounting plate so the center pointed area
mates with the indent in the mounting plate. Rotate the cloverleaf
shaped washer so that the notches in it match the holes in the
mounting plate.
Place the jack assembly on the mounting plate by centering the
mounting hole with the cloverleaf plate just placed in position.
Insert two of the 3/8” x 1” carriage bolts in the holes of the swiv-
el bracket washer. Place the washer onto the jack assembly so
the bolts go through the mounting hole of the jack assembly and
through the notches in the cloverleaf shaped washer. Insert the
bolts completely down through the mounting plate. Secure in place
with 3/8” flange lock washers. Tighten.
Note that the jack mounting plate has only one pair of holes on one
side of the plate while the other side has holes punched to accom-
modate either 3”, 4”, or 5” tongue.
Place a 3/8” x 4” hex bolt into the single hole of the mounting plate
so the head of the bolt is on the jack side of the plate.
Once inserted, place one of the mounting channels onto the bolt so
the legs of the mounting channel are pointing away from the jack.
Place on a 3/8” flat washer and hex nut. Thread on only far enough
to secure in place.
Repeat the above process on the other single hole of the mounting
plate.
Place the jack on the tongue so that the two bolts just installed
are on the top side of the tongue with the jack on the right side
of the tongue and the mounting channels on the other side of the
tongue.
Visually check which of the bottom three holes in the plate will align
just under the bottom side of the tongue. Insert the remaining two
3/8” x 4” hex bolts into these holes and then through the mating
holes in the mounting channel. Secure with 3/8” flat washers and
hex nuts.
Rotate the jack into the up position. Slide the jack forward or back-
ward on the tongue to make sure it will not hit the frame of the trailer
when in the up position.
Tighten all of the mounting bolts to secure the jack assembly to the
tongue.
Always rotate the jack in the up position before towing the trailer.
Axle and Wheel Assembly
Locate the axle for the trailer. Note that there isn’t a right or left to
the axle assembly. Place one of the springs on top of the spring
pad welded to the axle as shown in Diagram A. Drop two (2) 3/8” x
2-3/16” x 2” U-bolts over the springs and down through the holes
in the spring pad. Secure with 3/8” flange lock nuts. Repeat this
process on the other spring mounting it so that it is oriented on the
axle the same as the first spring.
Slip a spring bushing spacer into the rear of the spring bracket,
align the bushing with the hole in the bracket and secure in position
using a 1/2” x 3” hex bolt and 1/2” flange lock nut. Tighten. Repeat
on the other spring bracket.
Slide the axle assembly under the trailer frame, raise up and slide
the rear of the springs above the bushings just installed. Rotate the
assembly up until the front spring eyes align with the front holes in
the spring bracket. Insert a 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt and secure with
a 9/16” lock nut. Tighten. Tighten the U-bolt attaching the springs
to the axles at this time and any other bolts that may have been left
loose for ease of assembly.
Place the tire and wheel assemblies on the hubs and secure with
the 1/2” tapered lock nuts.
Tire And Wheel Assemblies
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2” fine 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.
