Primer Bulb; Oil Tank And Oil Fill; Fuel / Oil Leaks; Stereo Equipment (Optional) - Pro-Line Boats 2008 23 Sport Owner's Manual

Primer Bulb

There may be a primer bulb installed for each engine and it is used to prime the fuel pump in the motor
with fuel. Squeeze the primer bulb a few times until resistance is felt in order to prime. If no resistance
develops and the fuel pump will not prime, you may be out of fuel, the primer bulb may be defective, or a
leak may have developed allowing air into the system. Primer bulbs (if applicable) are located with the
rigging tubes where they exit the bilge and are easy to get to by standing on the dive platform.
Note: Not all engines require a primer bulb. Refer to the engine manual for verification.

Oil Tank and Oil Fill

Depending on your selection of the various optional engine packages (i.e., oil injected outboard engines),
your boat may be equipped with a remote oil tank. If your engine package requires the installation of an
oil tank, it will be mounted in the bilge and can be accessed via the bilge hatches in the motor well. The
oil fill will be installed port side of the transom.
Make sure that the oil tank is well stocked with the type of engine oil that is recommended for your
engine. Refer to your engine manual.
uncontaminated by water or dirt. Check to make sure the oil line is free from leaks, kinks and chafing.
Some motors use a primer bulb to initiate oil flow. Air may periodically enter the system and require
purging. Refer to your engine manual for specific instructions.
If your optional engine package requires the installation of a remote oil tank, please refer to the owner's
manual provided by the engine manufacturer for operational procedures and for information related to the
care and maintenance of their product. When in doubt, always defer to the engine manufacturer's
instructions and/or recommendations.

Fuel / Oil Leaks

The fuel tank is vented via the vented fuel fill fitting and the vent should be inspected for obstructions
regularly. Verify that all of the fuel hoses remain properly secured and located according to NMMA
standards. Inspect all hose clamps and fittings to ensure they are double clamped where needed and
that there are no fuel leaks in any of the hoses. Also, inspect the oil system, if applicable, and ensure that
the oil tank and hoses remain properly connected and secured.
If you notice a fuel odor or see fuel in the bilge, there may be a leak somewhere in the fuel system.
Correct any fuel leaks before operating the vessel.
Caution: If at all possible, any fuel tank and or fuel system repair should be handled by
your Pro-Line dealer's service department or by another qualified professional.
