    Trailer / Trailering Upgrades

    So I upgraded to the Ark and promptly lost the "Magnetic" Handle. My diligent research has in fact confirmed that its not magentic enough to keep from falling off. :eek: Does anyone know where I can find a replacement. Thanks Scoop

    Check your caliper for free movement

    I am installing new calipers and have a question about the above pictures. Is the line going into the green dot the fluid coming from the actuator or the fluid going to the other brake? I recieved two left brake calipers and had to take the little gold square with two inlet/outlet connections...

    Total Trailer Fail - Inspect your Shorelanders

    My 2018 POS Shorelander trailer broke in two!!!! The scary part is the safety chains would not have helped since the break was beyond that point. Everyone - see below photos and inspect your trailer. Just above the cInder blocks in the photo the trailer cracked and bent about 30 degrees...

    Trailer trouble

    Trailered from Dallas to Nashville - No problems. Now my rear hubs are overheating. Found new bearing kits at autozone. Will try new bearings and fresh grease. Any thoughts? Thanks

    Shorelandr Trailer Brakes Stopped Working

    Disregard above request. I Figured it out. CLeaned and lubed the caliper pins, gridned the rust off of and smothed the edge of the brake pads did a good thorough bleed and I everything is fully working. The only tricky part was using the allen wrench to remove the two bolts holding the...

    Shorelandr Trailer Brakes Stopped Working

    Does anyone have a good video of how to remove and clean shorelander disk brake caliper pins as stated above? I am looking for some specific instructions on how to do this. My pins are not seized but they are not moving freely and I think they may be intermittently sticking? Trying to get...

    Trailer / Trailering Upgrades

    No - all the holes were already there but I had to enlarge two of the holes about 1/8 of an inch to get the telescoping pins to seat fully. Definitely something to consider on a painted trailer since enlarging the holes will also strip the paint.

    Shorelandr Trailer Brakes Stopped Working

    Other than the brakes be sure to check the grease level. If you ran out of grease your hub could have overheated independent of the brakes - thi scould result in the wheel not spining if it got hot enough for long enough. Do you have a tandem trailer? Were only the wheels with brakes hot...

    Trailer / Trailering Upgrades

    Do the RockerBall Hitch balls make a noticeable difference? I am considering that upgrade but have been towing for years without it and I guess I am just used to all the clunking around back there.

    Trailer / Trailering Upgrades

    Thanks for all the help and information guys. I upgraded to the Ark and modifed the orignal Shorelander WInch arm to receive the Ark jack. I had to remove the winch arm to buff out some scratches and since it was off decided to modify it. Much cleaner and seems a lot sturdier. The original...

    Trailer / Trailering Upgrades

    Ronnie - I am going to replace my trailer jack and am leaning toward the ARK like you pictured above. Other than buying the Black jack at $349 is there anything else I need to do to ensure it fits my Shorelander for a 2018 24 foot boat? I also noticed a lighter weight version for a lot less...

    Swim Platform Stern Storage Door (seat back) Latching Mechanism

    This is the problem that does not go away. I have tried two solutions - original replacment part and velcro. Both showed promise but eventually the doors pop open on the water. I have resorted to a cord that attaches to the tower with a bungie to hold it closed - pathetic but it works. I...

    Shorelander trailer wheel stud sizes

    Perfect timing. I broke a lug nut off recently and just hit Auto Zone today. A very easy repair. Pop the broken stud out with a small sledge and and a bolt that is smaller in diameter than the stud then just pop the new one in. The only issue is the nut is 13/16 so you need to ensure you...

    Shorelandr Trailer Brakes Stopped Working

    I finally figured out what was going on. Somehow the Safety release bracket on the bottom of the actuator was getting "stuck." It apparantly wouldn't move even though the whole surge assembly would freely slide foward and aft. Bottom line: If your Shorelander surge brakes stop working add...
