  • Page 8: Steering

    Steering Your Pro-line is equipped with a self contained hydraulic steering system. When the steering wheel is turned the helm pump pumps fluid to the steering cylinder, causing the boat to turn. Stern drive 27's use a rack and cable helm unit. Periodically check the fluid level and fill if necessary.
  • Page 9 Volt The volt meter indicates battery voltage; normal reading is between 12 to 15.5 volts. A low reading indicates to heavy of a load or a dysfunction in the charging system. Too high of a voltage indicates a fault of the charging circuitry and continued operation will damage the battery. Tachometer The tachometer indicates the revolutions per minute (RPM) of your engine.

  • Page 11 Windshield Wiper (optional) For operation in rain or adverse conditions, optional windshield wipers enhance visibility from the helm and therefore safety. Windlass (optional) Refer to the windlass manual for operation of the optional windlass. The Windlass is protected by a breaker located on the helm breaker panel.

  • Page 12: Trim Tabs

    Before the boat is underway depress the bottom half of both switches until the tabs are fully elevated (bow up position) while underway and in open water clear of other boaters, depress the top half of both switches in half second bursts to achieve the desired degree of bow down trim. To correct a starboard list give the top half of the port switch a series of bursts until the list is corrected.

  • Page 13: Head/ Waste

    Fresh water tank Sea Water System (optional) The bait-well/ wash down switch controls a demand pump. A valve located inside the transom hatch directs flow either to the wash down outlet or through the baitwell. The valve is controlled remotely from the port side of the cockpit. Seacocks on all below water line fittings should be closed when not in use.

  • Page 14: Fuel/ Oil

    Air conditioner (optional) The optional air conditioner uses raw water for cooling. The seacock is located in the bilge. A strainer is located between the seacock and the cooling (raw water) pump. When the boat is put in the water the raw water pump must be primed by removing the hose from the pump outlet until the pump is full of water.
  • Page 15 Pro-Line boats equipped with oil injected outboard engines have on board oil tanks located in the port transom hatch or the bilge. Ensure that the tanks are well stocked with the recommended 2 - stroke oil - refer to your engine manual. It is imperative that the oil supply remain clean and uncontaminated by water or dirt.

  • Page 16: Electrical (Ac, Dc)

    Electrical Alternating Current Shore power is used for the operation of AC devices like your air conditioner, refrigerator (110v dockside), battery charger, and 110v outlets for other appliances. The panel is located in the cabin. If the reverse polarity light is on, unplug shore power, and do not use it until this potentially dangerous situation is corrected by a qualified technician.

  • Page 17: After Market Accessories

    Direct Current 12- volt direct current provides electrical power for all lighting, refrigerator (12-v at sea), pumps, electronics, and DC devices. A main breaker is located on the transom. Battery selector switches are on the transom for battery isolation, parallel operation and disconnect. Caution: To avoid possible alternator / battery damage on twin-engine installations, ensure that the optional dual battery switches are never left so both engines are connected together (never leave a switch on 'both').

  • Page 18: Trailering And Launching

    Trailering and Launching Consult your trailer manufacturer for specific information relating to your particular trailer. Pro- Line does not make trailers. Make sure the trailer you use is certified. The use of roller trailers is not recommended, bunk type trailers offer more uniform support. Consult your state authority for state regulations pertaining to trailering a boat.

  • Page 19: Hitch

    The trailer you choose should be a proper match for your boat with regard to capacity and hull design, consult your dealer when making your selection. The tow vehicle must have sufficient towing capacity for the combined load of boat, trailer and accessories. Check the certification label on the forward port (left) side of your trailer to ensure that it has adequate gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for the combined boat and trailer.

  • Page 20: Operation And Performance

    Operation and Performance Loading The capacity plate states the maximum persons and the maximum weight in pounds for persons, engine and gear that the boat will safely accommodate under normal conditions. These load capacity ratings are computed using USCG formulas. For operation in rough and adverse conditions reduce the boats load to permit safe operation.

    information on trim tab adjustment. Torque induced list can also be corrected by shifting the load in your boat. Twin engines, when counter rotating, cancel the torque and no correction is required. Trim The power trim system allows the operator to raise and lower the drive unit or motor throughout an infinite number of settings between its upper and lower limits.

  • Page 23: Prop

    Prop 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 desired performance needs.
  • Page 24 Wax all gel coated surfaces a minimum of twice a year, more often if the boat is stored in the sun. If due to neglect, the surface takes on a dull appearance that is not restorable by waxing, hand buff with a rubbing compound such as Dupont No.
  • Page 25 Canvas Cleaning: Brush the canvas with a soft bristle brush and hose down at regular intervals to remove bird droppings, dust and dirt particles. It may be washed with a mild solution of natural soap in lukewarm water (less than 100 deg. F.) DO NOT USE DETERGENTS. For more stubborn stains soak the canvas in a solution of 4oz., non-chlorine bleach, 4oz.
  • Page 26 Winterization and Storage Pre-Storage Check List  Remove drain plug, keep bow high to drain any water accumulation.  Run a pint of RV antifreeze through bilge pump.  Drain all water from water systems and head, and pump an approved antifreeze through all pumps, valves, drains and lines.
