• Too much weight on the rear of the trailer will cause the trailer to "fishtail" and may reduce traction or even lift the rear wheels of the tow vehicle off the ground. • The safety chains are attached crisscrossing under the coupler to the frame of the tow vehicle.
Backing a Trailer Practice backing with a trailer before you get into a confined launch site. Get accustomed to using the trailer in an open area. Take someone with you who knows how to back a trailer. Backing a trailer works the opposite of backing a car.
Launching • Keep the rear wheels of the tow vehicle out of the water. This will generally keep the exhaust pipes out of the water. If the exhaust pipes become immersed in the water, the engine may stall. • Set the parking brake and place tire chocks behind the rear wheels. •...
Service and Care To enjoy trouble free use of your Pro-Line, follow the recommended procedures and instructions relating to the service and care of your boat. Failure to follow proper maintenance practices will result in shorter life of your equipment and may void your warranty. Much of the installed equipment on your Pro-Line is warranted separately.
This is done so that the epoxy coat will properly adhere to the hull, and when done correctly, will not void the hull warranty. Pro-Line Boats does not recommend using an etching primer in lieu of sanding the bottom.
Fuel Water Separators If fuel water separators are installed on your boat, 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, filter cartridges may need to be replaced more often depending upon usage and conditions or if motors begin to run rough.
Stainless Steel Stainless steel is used for bow rails and deck fittings on your Pro-Line. Stainless steel is not completely free from corrosion attack. It is NOT stain or rust proof. When used in contact with chloride salts, sulfides or other rusting metals, stainless will discolor, rust or even corrode. The degree of surface oxidation is directly affected by local atmosphere and saltwater concentrations.

• Prepare a cleaning mixture of water and mild soap (Ivory Snow, Dreft or Woolite - no detergents). Water should be cold to lukewarm. Never more than 100 degrees. • Use a soft bristle brush to clean. • Allow soap to soak in. •...
Pre-Storage Check List: • Remove drain plugs, keeping the bow high to drain any water accumulation. • Run a pint of RV antifreeze through the bilge pump. • Drain all water systems, including the head, and pump an approved antifreeze through all pumps, valves, drains and lines.
