Page 18: Shift / Throttle / Trim
Shift / Throttle / Trim Your Pro-Line can be ordered with different shift/throttle systems based upon motor type. Refer to the owner's packet to find the manual pertaining to your particular installation. Each motor has an individual tilt/trim switch located on the port throttle lever. Separate shift and throttle controls are available for each outboard motor. -
Page 19: Steering
Steering Your Pro-Line is equipped with a self-contained hydraulic steering system when your engine package is factory installed. When the steering wheel is turned, the helm pump pumps fluid to the steering cylinder causing it to extend or retract. Periodically, check the fluid level and fill as necessary. Beware of adding too much fluid, especially if the ambient temperature is cold because subsequent expansion could cause leaking or damage to your system. -

and check to see if the opposite trim tab goes down. For example if the starboard trim tab switch is being pressed down, the port trim tab should be going down. Repeat the same process for the opposite side. While underway and in open water, clear of other boaters, depress the top half of the switches in half- second increments to achieve the desired degree of trim. - Page 21 To operate the windlass, press the windlass toggle switch to the down position to release the anchor and line. After dropping the anchor, be sure to tie the line off at one of the cleats. If you do not tie off at a cleat, the constant pull against the line could cause the windlass motor to fail.

discharge" by boats operated in enclosed lakes and reservoirs or in rivers not capable of interstate navigation. States may apply to the EPA to have certain other waters declared "no discharge zones" if discharge of treated sewage would be harmful. In short, boats with installed toilets must have an operable Coast Guard approved Marine Sanitation Device (MSD) designed to either hold sewage for pump out ashore or for discharge in the ocean beyond the three mile limit, or to treat the sewage to Federal standards prior to discharge. -

There is a trim setting that will yield maximum speed, stability or maneuverability for every throttle setting. Refer to your engine manual for specific questions regarding the trim and tilt. -
Page 44: Propellers
Propellers If your Pro-Line was ordered with a factory installed engine, it will have a propeller that has been performance tested to provide the best all-round performance for your engine/hull combination at sea level. In some situations, it may be desirable to re-prop your Pro-Line to enhance the desired performance needs for your area. -

• Check for fuel, oil and water leaks. If any leaks are found, shut down the engines and make the necessary repairs before continuing on with your voyage. • Follow the break-in procedures as recommended by the engine manufacturer for your engines. -
Page 46: Trailering & Launching
Trailering and Launching Selecting A Trailer Choose the proper trailer for your boat and make sure the trailer you use is certified. Consult your state authority for state regulations pertaining to trailering a boat. More damage can be done to a boat by the stress of road travel than by normal water operation. - Page 47 • Too much weight on the rear of the trailer will cause the trailer to "fishtail" and may reduce traction or even lift the rear wheels of the tow vehicle off the ground. • The safety chains are attached crisscrossing under the coupler to the frame of the tow vehicle.
-
Page 48: Backing A Trailer
Backing A Trailer Practice backing with a trailer before you get into a confined launch site. Get accustomed to using the trailer in an open area. Take someone with you who knows how to back a trailer. Backing a trailer works the opposite of backing a car. -
Page 49: Launching
Launching • Keep the rear wheels of the tow vehicle out of the water. This will generally keep the exhaust pipes out of the water. If the exhaust pipes become immersed in the water, the engine may stall. • Set the parking brake and place tire chocks behind the rear wheels. •... -
Page 50: Service And Care
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. Failure to follow proper maintenance practices will result in shorter life of your equipment and may void your warranty. Much of the installed equipment on your Pro-Line is warranted separately. -
Page 51: Graphics
This is done so that the epoxy coat will properly adhere to the hull, and when done correctly, will not void the hull warranty. Pro-Line Boats does not recommend using an etching primer in lieu of sanding the bottom. -
Page 52: 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 53: 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. -

Page 56: Resealing
• Drain all water systems, including the head, and pump an approved antifreeze through all pumps, valves, drains and lines. • Fill fuel tank (3/4 – 7/8 full) and add a stabilizer/conditioner such as “STA-BIL” to the gasoline. • Prepare engine in accordance with the engine manufacturer’s recommendations found in your engine manual. -
