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 primer bulbs. Refer to the engine manual for verification.
Make sure that the oil tanks are well stocked with the type of engine oil that is recommended for your
engines. Refer to your engine manual.
uncontaminated by water or dirt. Check to make sure the oil lines are 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.

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 remote oil tanks. If your engine package
requires the installation of an oil tank, it will be mounted in the
bilge as far aft as possible. The oil fill will be installed on the
outside of the transom above the motor well.
If your optional engine package requires the installation of remote oil tanks, 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 overboard 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 service professional.

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.
All boats built since 1977 with installed toilets must have an operable approved type I, II or III MSD.
Since 1980, all boats (including those built before 1977) with installed toilets must have an operable MSD.
Both the U.S. Coast Guard and the Natural Resources Police can enforce MSD requirements.
