Service and Care To enjoy trouble free use of your Pro-Line, follow the recommended procedures and instructions relating to the service and care of your boat.

Page 49: Fuel Water Separators
Fuel Water Separators If fuel water separators are installed on your boat, the “spin on” filter cartridges should be renewed every season at a minimum. Fuel tanks that are not kept full accumulate water faster due to condensation. Therefore, filter cartridges may need to be replaced more often depending upon usage and conditions or if motors begin to run rough. -
Page 50: Stainless Steel
Stainless Steel Stainless steel is used for bow rails and deck fittings on your Pro-Line. Stainless steel is not completely free from corrosion attack. It is NOT stain or rust proof. When used in contact with chloride salts, sulfides or other rusting metals, stainless will discolor, rust or even corrode. The degree of surface oxidation is directly affected by local atmosphere and saltwater concentrations. -
