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.
Head Waste System
WHAT IS THE LAW?
a wide spectrum of water pollution problems, including marine sewage from boats in navigable U.S. waters
including coastal waters up to three miles offshore. The law further provides for "no discharge" by boats operated
in enclosed lakes and reservoirs or in rivers not capable of interstate navigation. States may apply to the EPA to
have certain other waters declared "no discharge zones" if discharge of treated sewage would be harmful. In
short, boats with installed toilets must have an operable Coast Guard approved Marine Sanitation Device (MSD)
designed to either hold sewage for pump out ashore or for discharge in the ocean beyond the three mile limit, or
to treat the sewage to Federal standards prior to discharge.
All boats built since 1977 with installed toilets must have an operable approved type I, II or III MSD. Since 1980,
all boats (including those built before 1977) with installed toilets must have an operable MSD. Both the U.S.
Coast Guard and the Natural Resources Police can enforce MSD requirements.
Check with your local authorities, Coast Guard, local marina or your dealer for the rules and/or laws that may
apply specifically in your area.
