Propellers If your Pro-Line was ordered with a factory installed engine, it will have a propeller that has been performance tested to provide the best all-round performance for your engine/hull combination at sea level. In some situations, it may be desirable to re-prop your Pro-Line to enhance the desired performance needs for your area.
• Check for fuel, oil and water leaks. If any leaks are found, shut down the engines and make the necessary repairs before continuing on with your voyage. • Follow the break-in procedures as recommended by the engine manufacturer for your engines.
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. Failure to follow proper maintenance practices will result in shorter life of your equipment and may void your warranty. Much of the installed equipment on your Pro-Line is warranted separately.
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.
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.
Additional information from Taco Metals is included in your owner’s package. 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.
abrasive cleaners or any hard objects, as they will damage the poly/starboard material. Be sure to read the manufacturer’s directions carefully before using any cleaning product on your boat. Tackle Box Clean the tackle box trays and storage area using a soft cloth, warm water and a mild detergent or a good marine grade cleaner that is recommended for cleaning plastic or vinyl.
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).
frequency of cleaning depends on the amount of use and on environmental conditions to which the vinyl is subjected. The procedures used for cleaning are dependent upon the end use circumstances. 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.
• 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.
