Fuel - The fuel gauge reads the amount of fuel remaining in the tank. To check the fuel gauge, place a known
amount of fuel into the fuel fill and fill the tank. Turn the ignition key on and the fuel gauge should read the
approximate amount of fuel in the tank.
For example: If the fuel tank holds 70 gallons of fuel and you pumped 15 to 20 gallons of fuel into
the tank, the fuel gauge should read approximately ¼ of a tank. This ensures that the fuel tank
gauge and the fuel sender are working properly.
If the fuel gauge is not reading correctly, we recommend that you have the fuel sender checked by your Pro-Line
dealer's Service Department or a qualified service professional before considering changing out the gauge. For
more information, please refer to the Fuel/Oil Systems section of this manual.
Volts - To system check the volt gauge, turn the ignition key on and turn on the engine. With the engine running,
check the reading on the volt gauge. It should be reading between 12 and 14.5 volts. This reading ensures that
the charging system and the volt gauge are working properly.
For specific information related to your gauges, refer to the materials in your owner's package that was provided
by the gauge manufacturer.
Fuel/Oil Systems
Vented 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.
You can access the hose connections on this fitting by removing the small storage
box that is installed below the binnacle.
Note: Never pump fuel into any fitting, opening or access on the boat unless it is labeled "Gas" or
"Fuel".
Fuel Tank
The 70-gallon fuel tank (Inca Molded Products) on your Pro-Line is constructed of flame resistant cross-linked
high-density polyethylene. The fuel tank is located under the deck and is secured between the stringers and
bulkheads.
Located below the access pie installed aft of the captain's
