If water should somehow enter your fuel tank via condensation, your fuel source, etc., it will become trapped in the fuel water separator before it is able to travel through the fuel system and to your engine. Please refer to the owner’s manual provided by your engine manufacturer for proper procedures. Some engines will not have a separate fuel water separator located in the bilge. -

Page 51: 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.

Page 52: 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 53: 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 54: 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 55: Head Door
Head Door The head door is made of a strong poly (i.e., starboard material). To clean the poly door, rinse with fresh water to remove as much grime as possible. Then, wash with a mild dish cleaning soap and warm water or a good marine grade cleaner that is recommended for cleaning poly, plastic or vinyl. -
Page 56: Isinglass
When it's time for a thorough cleaning, Sunbrella fabrics can be cleaned while still installed on your boat. It is important to observe the following: Brush off loose dirt. Hose down. Prepare a cleaning mixture of water and mild soap (Ivory Snow, Dreft or Woolite - no detergents). -
Page 57: Winterizing And Storage
For normal cleaning, most stains can be cleaned using warm soapy water and a clear water rinse. Moderate scrubbing with a medium bristle brush will help to loosen soiling material from the depressions of embossed surfaces. For stubborn stains, use either Fantastic or Mr. Clean, which are commercially available mild detergents, in accordance with manufacturers instructions. -
Page 58: Resealing
Install hull drain plug. Verify operation of equipment before leaving dock. Resealing In the heat and sun, silicone and sealant can degrade over time. We recommend that you reseal around everything that comes in contact with the deck or hull with a high quality silicone such as 3M 5200 sealant annually. -
