Fuel Sender And Fuel Pick Up; Fuel Water Separator; Primer Bulb; Oil Tank And Fill - Pro-Line Boats 2010 20 Express Owner's Manual

Inspect the hose connections on a regular basis. The fuel fill and fuel vent hoses at the tank are accessible via
the round deck hatch installed between the two helm seats. The other end of these two hoses can be accessed
via the 6" deck plate that is installed forward of the transom.

Fuel Sender and Fuel Pick Up

The fuel sender and fuel pick up are accessible via the round deck hatch installed just forward of the transom.
The fuel sender is equipped with a float that moves up and down with the fuel level in the tank. The fuel level
information is sent to the fuel gauge and keeps you informed of the approximate fuel level in the tank. If you feel
that your fuel gauge is reading incorrectly, before considering changing the gauge, have your Pro-Line dealer's
Service Department or a qualified service professional remove the fuel sender and check to make sure that the
float is able to move up and down freely.

Fuel Water Separator

Depending on your selection of the various optional engine packages, your boat may be equipped with a fuel
water separator for the engine. However, some engines come equipped with a built in fuel water separator.
Please refer to the owner's manual provided by the manufacturer of your engine package 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.
If your engine package requires the installation of a fuel water separator, it will be mounted in the bilge on the
inside of the stringer and/or bulkheads. The "spin on" filter cartridge should be renewed every season at a
minimum. Fuel tanks that are not kept full accumulate water faster due to condensation. Therefore, the filter
cartridge may need to be replaced more often depending upon usage and conditions or if motors begin to run
rough. If water should somehow enter your fuel tank via condensation, your fuel source, etc., it will become
trapped in the fuel water separator before it is able to travel through the fuel system and to your engine. When
replacing the filter cartridge for the fuel water separator, coat the rubber seal with a film of grease or oil to help
prevent sticking.
Please refer to the owner's manual provided by your engine manufacturer for proper procedures. Some engines
will not have a separate fuel water separator located in the bilge. In this case, the engine manufacturer will install
it in the engine. Check engine specs.

Primer Bulb

Depending on your selection of the various optional engine packages, your boat may be equipped with a primer
bulb. A primer bulb is used to prime the fuel pump in the motor with fuel. Squeeze the primer bulb a few times
until resistance is felt. 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, in the motor well, etc.
Note: Not all engines require primer bulbs. Refer to the engine manual for verification.

Oil Tank and 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 installed in the bilge area. The exact mounting location is dependent upon which power package you have
selected. The oil fill will be installed on transom.
Make sure that the oil tank is well stocked with the type of engine oil that is recommended by your engine
manufacturer for your engine; refer to your engine manual. It is imperative that the oil supply remains clean and
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.
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.
