2020 FSH Shore Land’r Trailer loading issues

[Dumbassbass]

Mine is adjustable, I believe all of the Shorelander trailers that the current Yamaha's come with are. You are able to adjust tongue weight.

I understand the adjustability forward/aft for weight balance. I am talking about grabbing the bow stop/winch/roller with your hand and checking for any movement forward/aft. Mine used to move/pivot nearly 2 inches before thru bolting the bow stop at the base. I know yours are different, just wondering about movement.

Edit: that 2" of movement made it impossible to put the boat on the trailer in the same place every time. The tie downs would always be loose after the 30 min. drive home. When I put trim tabs on, it was imperative that the boat landed on the same spot and stayed so the trim tabs would clear the tiedowns and in doing that, the factory tiedowns stay tight.

Gotcha, no, the roller/stop is rigid.

My boat was dropped off today. I’ll post any updates from the dealer.

FYI - i have not heard of any final solutions on this issue yet

I see your PA title - what dealer do you take your boat to? I’m in PA too.

Thanks,

I usually have my live well full on each outing so the boat is level on the water.

My issue is that the boat does not sit evenly on the bunks... the port side bunk is usually up into that chine. Yesterday I had my fried stand on the starboard side when I pulled out of the water and that made it come out centered. The boat is very close to the fenders but not touching.

Finally heard back on some trailer updates. They said they made some adjustments to the bunks, drove around with the yard trailer and no issues. When I go to pick it up we are going to drive some more to see if it bounces around any.

sorry i missed your post about a pa dealer. deep creek Maryland is closer to me than full performance at raystown lake. I am trying to get a local person (Pittsburgh) fix it and have my dealer in FL do the warranty paperwork. please let me know how it goes.

Thanks!

 

[Praud]

Do you have many other issues from year one for warranty work?

 

[Dshriber]

i had some spider cracks. The dealer was really cool in letting me use a local fiberglass company and run through for Yamaha warranty. I have had a few other issues. The boat is higher than advertised 125" so it doesn't fit in my car port. One of the batteries died. Boat has 65 hours. The rest of the issues are just rookie mistakes. all in all I am very happy with the boat. It has been a ton of fun and surely miss it over the winter

 

[Praud]

Where did you have spider cracks? And did they get covered? I have some too on the right side top white rail. I didn’t hit anything, so not sure where they came from. My dealer said they wouldn’t be covered.

 

[Dshriber]

photos attached. Yamaha dis approve my claim. The location of the cracks shows that it would be impossible for something (boat, dock, etc..) to have impact in that location only. sounds similar. i would go back and try again

 

[Praud]

Pretty much the exact same spot on that top white section of the boat. I’ll call shop and see if they made the call to not submit or if Yamaha denied.

I haven’t hit anything so I was very surprised to see them.

 

[Dshriber]

Feel free to mention my boat, pics and claim. Approved by Yamaha. Good luck

 

[Praud]

Thanks so much! Already left the Service Manager a voicemail.

He did say the repair work estimate from the fiberglass guy was about 4k for those cracks.

 

[Praud]

I had two speakers malfunction that got replaced under warranty. Not sure if they were wired backwards but the plastic cap on the speaker melted off the back under the helm. Service Manager said this was the second boat he saw with that issue so keep an eye on those.

 

[Dshriber]

thanks for the heads up. FYI my work was $1,500

 

[Praud]

Wow! Quite the difference. Was yours in multiple places on that rail?

 

[Dshriber]

yes in two places. photo attached. The place I used was great!!! Nowack fiberglass in amity PA. about an hour out of Pittsburgh. I paid cash so i might have gotten a little bit of a discount. Are you in PA?
