Removable Trailer Tongue - ShoreLander
In this video I show you how to determine if your trailer has a removable tongue, and how to remove it if so. I also install a new wiring harness quick connect. My main reason for making this video is that when I first got the boat/trailer, I didn't realize it had the removable tongue. I was going to install a hinge kit when I realized I could take it off in just a few minutes.

Here's a short video of my Mercruiser 4.3LX with Alpha 1 Gen 2 Outdrive running on the muffs. I decided to post this as it may be helpful for those who have a similar engine/outdrive and want to see how it runs, the impeller pumping water, etc.

Please like and subscribe to my channel to help me keep these videos coming! This is a short video on how I fixed my trailer light issue. It only took me a few minutes to find the broken ground wire coming from the end of the harness. I twisted them back together, added some wire tape, and all was resolved.

Im at the top contemplating this rn. Wish me luck 😅
You save a lot of money doing it yourself. Thanks for the video
Where did you ground the amp?!
In a boat 12V system the ground is essentially referring to the negative battery terminal. If your negative bus bar under the dash is supported by a large enough gauge wire you can just connect to that bus bar (thats what I did in this video). Otherwise you can run another cable straight from the amp ground to the negative battery terminal.
Thank you! Where in the world did the original magnet go to? Apparently mine is suddenly missing 😂
Alot easier to use bulkhead mounts above the water line.
I can’t pull my boat out to change this wondering if I can just jump it inside the boat and bypass the sensor
You most likely could, but then you risk yourself or someone else raising it too high using the thumb switch while running in water.
Does anyone know what is that black sliding piece of plastic called, mine is broken and is steuggling to find a replacement
Merci beaucoup ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Merci beaucoup ❤❤❤❤❤
Great video!
Will the amp not drain your starting battery?
In another video I show how to install a second accessory battery with battery switch. This is to ensure you always have your starting battery unaffected by the amp.
Nice video bro. Nice work.
Hello there my friend. Thank you very much on this video. I have a bravo 3 but all steps where the same. I was able to do mines and fixed the gage and the up button just like yours. Great video.
Good to know and glad I could help! I will likely have a bravo 3 on my next sea ray (Sundeck).
Does this problem keep your car from starting all together for any reason
No it didn’t affect anything other than being able to activate tiptronic shifting
Merci beaucoup ❤❤❤❤❤
You make it look too easy. it was a bitch, and I'm a fairly good mechanic. My 3.0 is in a 28 foot pontoon. This adds to problems because the engine is so low and need to hang over seats. First removing the retaining bolt and dropped it, lost forever. Had my socket full of putty to hold bolt but the swivel hung up and dropped bolt. Trusty magnate didn't work because it's stainless, also didn't work holding the clamp because that's aluminum. Bought a 3 pack of bolts from dealer for 5 bucks. 7/16 1/4 20 5/8 length stainless. Everything came out ok after that. Wires went thru transom no problems and connected to electrical no problems. I super glued the 2 white halves and taped them together. Learned I needed to tape the holding plate tight to the white plug to keep it in a semi good position to start the holding bolt. I did secure the bolt thru the holding plate with a tiny E clip and pulled it all up, connecting socket when things lined up close. I just couldn't chance dropping another bolt. I used heavy duty fish string, wrapped around the E clip to pull the e clip off once bolt grabbed a few threads. This actually went great. Used a 8 inch 1/4 wobble extension thru the tight area in the plate, added socket. Wasn't too bad securing the bolt this way. Oh, I did paint the retaining plate white like someone suggested. It helped to see up there. Got it done the hard way! At first I was going to just run the wires up the transom and drill thru, since this is an old pontoon it would have made this easier. Also considered drilling a small gap and feeding the extension thru in line with the bolt making a direct shot to tightening. Anyways great video and lots of great comments that encouraged me to take the hard way.
Thanks for this great video. Compled it this weekend. Fought with the bolt for 2 1/2 hours trying everything. Called my friend, got it done in 5 minutes. Everything works now.
Hell yeah nice work.
Merci beaucoup ❤❤❤❤❤
Getriebe Probleme???!!! Hallo, Ich habe ein audi a4 b6 avant 2004 Multitronic. Bis gestern lief alles gut. Abends wollte ich losfahren, den Motor gestartet, bremse betätigt, Schalthebel auf "D" läßt sich mit Wiederstand einlegen. R und N geht einwandfrei. Fährt auch tadellosen. Nur beim einlegen audi "D" ist sehr schwer. Hat jemand eine Idee was das sein kann? War bei ein paar Werkstätten, die haben keine Ahnung. Vielen Dank!
thank you
Omg my car is supposed to go in for a gearbox replacement in 2 weeks time!!!!the mother F#*&#rs. This solves everything 😭🤣damn people have no shame
after replacing the trim sensor it is possible to work as a gynecologist
Nice work!
10yrs later and my 1999 Audi A4 has a second chance 😁😁 Thanks for not removing this as it greatly helped!!
jak to się nazywa?
anyone knows the part number for that "magnet"? Please let me know, I have the same issue.
HOOKING UP ALL YOUR EXCESSORIES?
É diesel??
Great Vidio now I know why the tongue on my trailer isnt welded in place
thanks for your time, I hope that its the trim sensors on my 89 thundercraft, same issue will not lift on switch
Thanks for the great explaination.... Thumbs up
Works for me thanks
Thank you for this video. Will do this project soon.
excelente video para reparar mi boat ,
my good , This is an awfull video. You can do better. You can`t do worse. Sorry to tell.
Nice video thanks. Quick question mind you I ask because I’ve had a lot of misc issues with my boat so I’m trying to invest as little as possible into it. Couldn’t you splice the wires?
Yes you could, but it has a much higher chance of failing again in a short amount of time. Not only are the sensors likely corroded and needing replaced, but having spliced wires exposed to the water has a much higher chance of failing again.
This has been a problem for our truck on and off for maybe three years now … goes away and comes back . My husband fixed the wires the last time this happened but I’m pretty sure he did not take off the inside of the door and disconnect everything this video shows … he just spliced the wires and replaced them … I’m guessing this is why it is happening again ?
Yes if the issue keeps occuring I would definitely completely replace the senders with the wires instead of splicing them. Splicing them may work temporarily but has a much higher chance of failing again.
will the trailer option still go higer up right? you can have the unit higer up ( more than 20" 3/4) as longest is not running right?
Thank you for this video. I would not have had the guts to do it myself without it. One tip I have is I pulled out both old wires, then taped the ends of the new ones, then stuck a thick coat hanger wire into the tape at the end and thrusted it through the hole. After jacking up the stern and lowering the outdrive there is a gap that gives you a straight shot in. You have to stick the end of the hanger wire throught the gap in the gimbal housing, then into the tape at the end of the wire. Via Con Dios. Patience is the key on this job.
thank you very helpfull
Not all heros wear capes. Thanks a *TON*
Desde España, gracias!
God bless you bro, you saved me
Very good job at explaining the process. Thank you for sharing this.
If the wiring is still in good condition couldn't you just cut and splice the new wires from the new sending unit using some water tight connectors?
Great video. Only suggestion I have is to fill EVERY electrical connection with dielectric grease and you should be good for a very long time. I’m going to disassemble my sending units to see if filling them with dielectric grease would give them perpetual life as well. 😃 (At least longer than the rest of the drive 😉) I would love to hear if anyone else has done this and what the performance of the trim sending units was. I’m repowering my Se Ray Sundancer 300 with a pair of new 5.7L Vortex engines. Love to hear from others! Be safe!!!
Great job
omg just pull the drive and bellows...much easier..less stress dude
where is this part of the unit located please? Is this on the float?
Yes this is on the float assembly when pulled out.
