Fuel Fill Fitting

The vented fuel fill fitting is labeled "Gas" or "Fuel" and is
located approximately amidships on the starboard gunwale.
Twist the cap to open the fitting. The cap is connected to the
fitting by a chain or cable so that it will not fall into the water
and/or get lost. Be careful not to pump fuel into any other
fitting on the vessel. While you are filling the tank, fuel
entering the tank pushes air in the tank out through the fuel
vent.
Note: Never pump fuel into any fitting, opening or access on the boat unless it is labeled "Gas" or
"Fuel".

Fuel Sender and Fuel Pick Up

The fuel sender and fuel pick up are accessible via the access pie that is installed aft of the helm seats. 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 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 to a stringer or
bulkhead in the bilge. 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 motor begins to run rough. 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.
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.
