Page 43: Trailering And 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 44 • 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 45: Backing A Trailer
Make certain that water from rain or cleaning has been removed from the boat. Water weighs approximately eight pounds per gallon and can add weight that will shift with the movement of the trailer.

Page 47: 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 49: Fuel Water Separator
Fuel Water Separator 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. -
