Page 19: Shift / Throttle / Trim
Shift / Throttle / Trim Your Pro-Line can be ordered with different shift/throttle systems based upon motor type. Refer to the owner's packet to find the manual pertaining to your particular installation. Each motor has an individual tilt/trim switch located on the port throttle lever. Separate shift and throttle controls are available for each outboard motor. -
Page 20: Steering
Steering Your Pro-Line is equipped with a self-contained hydraulic steering system when your engine is factory installed. When the steering wheel is turned, the helm pump pumps fluid to the steering cylinder causing it to extend or retract. Periodically, check the fluid level and fill as necessary. Beware of adding too much fluid, especially if the ambient temperature is cold because subsequent expansion could cause leaking or damage to your system. - Page 21 While underway and in open water, clear of other boaters, depress the top half of the switches in half- second increments to achieve the desired degree of trim. To correct a starboard list, depress the top half of the port switch in small increments until the list is corrected. To avoid over trim, allow a few seconds between tab adjustments to allow the boat to respond.

Page 33: Fuel Water Separator
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. -
Page 34: Fuel / Oil Leaks
Fuel / Oil Leaks The fuel tank is vented via the vented fuel fill fitting and the vent should be inspected for obstructions regularly. Verify that all of the fuel hoses remain properly secured and located according to NMMA standards.

Page 44: Propellers
Propellers If your Pro-Line was ordered with a factory installed engine, it will have a propeller that has been performance tested to provide the best all-round performance for your engine/hull combination at sea level. In some situations, it may be desirable to re-prop your Pro-Line to enhance the desired performance needs for your area. -
Page 45: Fueling
• Check for fuel, oil and water leaks. If any leaks are found, shut down the engines and make the necessary repairs before continuing on with your voyage. • Follow the break-in procedures as recommended by the engine manufacturer for your engines. -
Page 46: Trailering And Launching
Trailering and Launching Selecting A Trailer Choose the proper trailer for your boat and make sure the trailer you use is certified. Consult your state authority for state regulations pertaining to trailering a boat. More damage can be done to a boat by the stress of road travel than by normal water operation. - Page 47 • 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.
-
Page 48: Backing A Trailer
Make certain that water from rain or cleaning has been removed from the boat. Water weighs approximately eight pounds per gallon and can add weight that will shift with the movement of the trailer. 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. -
Page 49: Launching
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. •... -
Page 50: Service And Care
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. -
Page 51: Graphics
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. -
Page 52: Fuel Water Separators
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. -
Page 53: Stainless Steel
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. -

Page 55: Isinglass
When it's time for a thorough cleaning, Sunbrella fabrics can be cleaned while still installed on your boat. It is important to observe the following: • Brush off loose dirt. • Hose down. • Prepare a cleaning mixture of water and mild soap (Ivory Snow, Dreft or Woolite - no detergents). -
Page 56: Exterior Vinyl - Upholstered Seats And Cockpit Bolsters
Caution: Powered abrasives, abrasive cleaners and steel wool will damage vinyl, as do strong solvents, lacquer solutions and inks. Lotions, suntan oil, waxes and polishes, etc., contain oils and dyes that can cause stiffening and staining of the vinyl. Never use steam, heat guns or hair dryers. -
Page 57: Winterizing And Storage
Burner head and surroundings: Keep the flame holes on the burner head clean. Clogged flame holes will affect the combustion process. Use a metal brush to clean the flame hole. Do no immerse in water.
