WINCH STAND/STRAP:
Ensure that the winch strap is fed
under the rubber roller and the
locking clip is secured to the bow eye.
Additional bow eye safety
chain should also be locked
into place.
CUSTOM LEGEND GLIDEON TRAILER
JACK & DOLLY WHEEL:
Your jack and dolly wheel
is meant to assist when
maneuvering your boat
and trailer. Always swivel to
maximize turning room.
When trailering, pull the locking
pin and rotate your jack and dolly
wheel so that it sits on a horizontal
position alongside your trailer.
Make sure it is securely
locked into place with
the handle away from
the vehicle for increased
turning room.
NUTS AND BOLTS:
Visually inspect all nuts and bolts for tightness, tighten if necessary.

High quality boats deserve high quality trailers. That’s why we choose Shoreland’r as our exclusive supplier
for our Legend custom matched Glide-on design. A high quality trailer means a high quality boating
experience from loading and unloading to highway driving. Here are some of the features you should know
before trailering your boat.

ADJUSTING YOUR COUPLER:
Reach under the coupler and
raise the channel lock up. Turn the
adjusting nut clockwise to tighten and
counterclockwise to loosen ball clamp
grip on the ball.
Replace the hitch back on the ball
and latch. Repeat this process
until the ball clamp latches
securely around the ball.
Remember tightening the coupler
does not compensate for 2”- 17/8”
ball. Be sure your ball matches your
coupler every time. Legend trailers
use only 2” ball couplers.
If the piston cannot be moved, it’s
time to add grease. Use a hand
operated grease gun and add
only enough to move the piston
outward until it rocks.
Bearing buddies create a positive
pressure inside the hub. Because
of this constant internal pressure
inside the hub, water cannot enter.
To check the hub lubricant level,
press on the edge of the spring
loaded piston. If you can move
or rock the piston, the hub has
sucient grease.
TIE DOWNS:
Your boat must be properly supported by the trailer. Your boat must also stay positioned on the trailer while
towing. This is accomplished by securing the boat to the trailer with tie downs. The black rubber coated
hook goes on the boat, and the metal one on the trailer. Do not over tighten.
Locate the plastic tab
underneath the tail light
Note: Larger trailers have two screws that are to be removed for tail light replacement.
Simply lift on the tab or
unscrew both screws
The entire wiring harness assembly will
drop and hang for easy bulb replacement.

INSPECTION:
Ensure to inspect lights and tighten wheel nuts and all trailer bolts after the rst 100 miles and
then every 300 miles for safety.

Ensure that mooring lines

Launch boat Pull trailer out of water and
away from the ramp.
Allow engine to warm up
at dock before getting
underway.
4. Turning while towing
When towing your trailer, note that your trailer will
track a tighter turn than your towing vehicle. Make
sure that when making a left or right turn, your trailer
does not strike any obstruction such as trees, vehicles
or even people. Be sure to inspect where you will
be launching your boat. Appropriate speeds should
be utilized at all times when towing a trailer. When
reversing with a trailer, slower is always better.
Tip: Place your hand at the bottom of your steering
wheel while reversing. Move your hand in the direction
your want your boat to go.

ON THE WATER
BEFORE LEAVING THE DOCK:
If gear is to be loaded, have someone on the dock pass the gear aboard instead of stepping in and out of
the boat. Make sure gear is secured so it doesn’t shift or interfere with boat operation. When boarding,
passengers should step into the boat one at a time. Once in, passengers not helping load gear should be
seated. Position passengers and gear so that the load is balanced evenly.
LEAVING THE DOCK:
Make sure you are aware of your
surroundings as you maneuver
away from the dock.
Remove mooring lines and
secure them inside your
boat. Maneuver away from
the dock at idle speed
When all pre-departure
checks are completed, you
can leave the dock

BOATS EQUIPPED WITH FULL STANDUP TOPS:
All models with a Full Stand-Up Top in an unopened position should not be left up when travelling on rough
waters. Only a Full Stand-Up Top partially or fully enclosed can be used on rough or calm waters.
ACCELERATING:
When you have a clear and safe path ahead, you can now begin to bring the boat on-plane by accelerating.
As you accelerate, the trim angle changes, causing the bow to lift high. As the boat continues to accelerate,
the bow of the boat will lower to its proper planing level. A few seconds at full throttle should get the boat
on plane. Once on plane, you can throttle down to comfortable cruising speed. Weight distribution is
especially important here. Too much weight at the back will prevent the boat from planing. Too much at the
front will cause it to plow or push water

ACCELERATING WITH POWER TRIM:
Note: Here’s some general information regarding trimming your engine while on plane. Refer to the
instructions in the engine manual for more detailed information about the power trim controls.
The power trim feature allows you to raise or lower the angle of the outboard to aect the boat’s angle while
underway. Boat trim while underway greatly aects boat performance and eciency.
General information:
- The power trim control switch is on the control lever handle.
- A good practice is to get underway with the outboard trimmed all the way in or down.
- After the boat is on-plane, trim the outboard up slightly to obtain the proper bow lift and
engine speed.
- The engine should never be trimmed up to a point where the propeller slips. A rapid increase in engine
RPMs is evidence of propeller slip. If this occurs accidentally while running at full throttle, immediately trim
the engine down and reduce the throttle until the slipping stops.
- Trimming the outboard up while on-plane lifts the bow of the boat higher in the water. It will travel faster
because less hull is in the water and be easier to steer.
- It is recomended that the motor be trimmed down completely if sharp turns are necessary to prevent
slippage.
Caution about trimming the motor with rear bench in up position or seat in rear position. Move the bench,
top or any obstacles to prevent damage to motor while in use or while trailering, loading or unloading.

OPERATION:
1. Lower your outboard motor to a vertical position (water level permitting). Make sure all
lower unit components are submerged.
2. Set your lanyard stop switch to “RUN” position and attached safety lanyard to driver. Make sure
outboard is set to the NEUTRAL position.
3. Turn the key to the”on” position and wait until beep stops.
4. Turn the ignition key to the “START” position. Release the key when engine starts.
Never shift outboard into gear unless engine speed is at idle.
5. You will notice that your gear shift positions are as follows...
“F” Forward, “N” Neutral and “R” for Reverse.
6. Always squeeze red handle and shift outboard into gear with a quick motion.
7. To increase speed, advance lever further.
8. To reduce engine speed, shift lever back slowly.
9. To stop the engine simply shift the lever to the“N”Neutral position and turn ignition
to the o position.
Note: Always allow the red neutral lock lever to engage or “click” into place when moving from forward to reverse
or reverse to forward.

2. For the 2nd hour of operation run the engine at
varied throttle settings (2 minutes at a time), between
4500 and 5000 RPM or three-quarter throttle every 10
minutes. Run the engine at full throttle for 1 minute
in the second hour.

Pull the boat and trailer slowly out
of the water ensuring the boat
remains centered on the trailer.
Install both trailer tie downs and
remove boat plug and stow where
you will nd it next time.
Re-tighten the winch strap
In general if the boat is in the water, the boat plug should be in. If the boat is out of the water, the plug
should be out and the boat tilted up for drainage.
6. If using a travel cover make sure to remove the windscreen on single consoles for travel cover installation
or trailering.
Important: All loose items like cup holders, tables, personal belongings, cushions, seats, etc. must be
securely stowed at all times, especially for trailering . Tops and related canvas pieces must also be
stowed and secured.
5. Ensure that your outboard is in proper position for trailering. If equipped with a transom saver, follow
installation instructions below.
For further instructions on how to install a travel cover and a full stand up top, refer to page 20.
Ensure that your outboard
is properly trimmed up.
