Page 48: Epoxy Barrier Coat And Bottom Paint
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 50: 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 51: 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 54: Winterizing And Storage
For normal cleaning, most stains can be cleaned using warm soapy water and a clear water rinse.

For stubborn stains, use either Fantastic or Mr. Clean, which are commercially available mild detergents, in accordance with manufacturers instructions. -
Page 55: Resealing
• Clean out any debris from bilge and cockpit. • Flush water systems. • 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. -
