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. Ensure 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.
Sea Water System
Baitwell Pump
The baitwell switch at the helm controls the baitwell pump (1100 gph), which is
mounted on a seacock in the bilge area.
accessible through the bilge hatch. Raw water for the baitwell tub comes through the
seacock, to the baitwell pump and then to the baitwell tub. The hose on the lower port
feeds raw water to the washdown pump.
Before turning the pump on from the helm, check to be sure that the seacock is open.
The seacock is wide open when the yellow seacock lever is vertical as shown in the
photo to the right. When the yellow seacock lever is horizontal, the seacock is closed.
The seacock should remain closed when the baitwell pump is not in use.
To operate the baitwell pump, locate the baitwell switch on the console and press the switch to the forward
position to turn on the pump. When the baitwell pump is operating, go to the baitwell tub, open the baitwell lid and
visually check to see if water is pumping into the tub through the aerator fitting. To turn the baitwell pump off,
press the baitwell switch to the aft position. You should always turn the baitwell switch off at the helm if the pump
is not going to be used soon.
Even when the baitwell pump is turned off, if the seacock is open, the baitwell tub will continue to fill with water
while you are underway.
Note:
Boats that are equipped with an optional generator and/or air conditioner will have
additional brass seacocks and a strainer installed in the aft (generator) and amidships (air
conditioner) bilges to filter seawater. These seacocks should be closed when the generator
and/or air conditioner are not in use.
The baitwell pump and seacock are
The 35 gallon capacity baitwell tub is located aft of the helm seat. It comes
equipped with an aerator head, 2 overflow drains that allow circulation to keep bait
alive, a plug for the drain and a baitwell light. The bait station is also equipped with
a clear lid, drink holder, bar soap holder, knife and pliers holder, and a grab rail.
If you find it necessary to run the baitwell pump while you are underway, you may
be forcing more water than necessary up through the seacock. In this instance,
adjust the seacock lever to a 45 degree angle so that the seacock is only halfway
open. The seacock lever may require additional adjustments to find a setting that
works best for you.
