Fuel Water Separators; Primer Bulbs; Oil Tank And Fill - Pro-Line Boats 2010 29 Express Owner's Manual

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 Separators

Depending on your selection of the various optional engine packages, your boat may be equipped with a fuel
water separator for each 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 fuel water separators, they will be mounted in the bilge on the
inside of the port and starboard stringers. There is one unit for each motor. 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, the filter cartridges 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 cartridges for the fuel water separators, 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. Instead it will be located on the engine itself.
Check engine specs.
If you have selected the optional air conditioner system, a designated fuel water separator will be installed on the
inside of the port stringer specifically for this optional installation.

Primer Bulbs

Depending on your selection of the various optional engine packages, your boat may be equipped with primer
bulbs. If required, a primer bulb will be installed for each engine. Primer bulbs are 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.
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 remote oil tanks. If
your engine package requires the installation of an oil tank, it will be mounted in
the bilge beneath the transom sink and can be accessed by removing the battery
switch panel. The oil fill will be installed on the port gunwale in close proximity to
the transom sink.
Make sure that the oil tanks are well stocked with the type of engine oil that is
recommended by your engine manufacturer for your engines; 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 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
