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.

• Boat Top Clips – Never slide boat top clips along windshield framework. To change a clip location, snap on and off the aluminum top track. • Grounding - Never ground windshield with any electrical devices or appliances. • Attaching Any Type of Metal Component to the Frame - Whenever attaching any metal component to the windshield frame, the windshield manufacturer recommends bedding all metal fasteners in contact with the aluminum frame with Tef-Gel to prevent the possibility of rust, galvanic corrosion, seizing of moving parts, blistering of painted surfaces, etc.
When you have to store the panels of your windscreen and curtain package, always “roll up” the material to prevent creases. Do not fold the Isinglass as this will permanently damage the Isinglass material. Do not roll up the panels when wet, as the material will turn white or fog up. Dry the panels off first using a very very soft cloth before rolling them up.
• Check all thru hull fittings and hoses for obstructions, water tightness and condition. • Test all lights for proper operation. • Check wiring, terminal blocks and plugs for loose connections and corrosion. • Verify switch and equipment operation. • Check line condition.
