Controls Pro-Line Boats offer many different engine and drive unit choices, therefore the information in this manual is general in regards to engine and controls. Refer to the engine/ drive manuals in your owners packet for additional, specific information. - Page 9 If your steering does not operate properly first check for; drive entanglements, fluid level, hoses / fittings for leaks, and / or air in the system. Instruments Your Pro-Line's instrumentation will vary from model to model and engine to engine, therefore the following descriptions are general; refer to your engine manual for specifics. Fuel Gauge Differences in temperature, loading, speed and trim will affect the actual accuracy of this gauge in service.
- Page 10 Bilge Pump Your Pro-Line is equipped with an automatic bilge pump system with a manual on switch. The main pump is located at the aft end of the bilge at the keel. A forward bilge bump is under the cabin.
- Page 11 Breaker Switches The wiring on your Pro-Line is protected by circuit breaker or fuse. If a device stops working first suspect the circuit breaker is tripped (or fuse blown). A tripped breaker will protrude from its set position, indicating that the circuit has been overloaded.

Page 12: Trim Tabs
Systems Fresh Water System The water pumps on your Pro-Line are controlled on demand by a drop in water pressure. The master switch located either at the helm or in the cabin switches the pumps unconditionally off. The switch should be kept off while not in use, or unattended. -
Page 13: Head/ Waste
Head / Waste If your Pro-Line is equipped with a portable or electric head refer to the manual supplied in your owner's packet. Do not put anything other than toilet paper in the head or clogging or damage to the system may occur. -
Page 14: Fuel/ Oil
Fuel / Oil System The fuel tank on your Pro-Line is made of aluminum with internal baffling to minimize sloshing. The tank is vented at the fill, inspect the vent for obstructions regularly. 'Deck plate' access ports are placed over the hose connections and the sending unit. Inspect the hose connections on a regular basis. - Page 15 Direct Current 12 volt direct current provides electrical power for all lighting, refrigerator (12v 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').

Pro-Line makes no recommendations to the suitability of accessories that are not listed in the Pro-Line sales literature. Any unapproved modifications or additions to the standard or optional system are done at the owners risk and may diminish the warranty. -
Page 17: Operation And Performance
Depending upon conditions and what engine / hull combination you have selected, your boat may not be able to stay on plane when loaded to its maximum rated capacity. When loading your Pro-Line always: Maintain a balance both port to starboard and bow to stern. -
Page 18: Fueling
Never allow passengers to ride with feet hanging over the side of the boat. Do not allow passengers to sit or stand on top of the stern, or gunwales of the boat. Fueling Due to the explosive nature of gasoline certain precautions must be observed when fueling. Before Fueling- ... -
Page 19: Torque
Release the choke as engine smoothes out. For a Hot Engine- Leave the throttle closed and choke off. * If engine fails to start in 5 seconds, partially open throttle (out of gear) and try again. If flooded, keep throttle open for a few minutes and then crank. When engine starts close throttle smoothly as the engine clears to prevent over revving. - Page 20 In addition to providing ideal boat performance, the power trim enables the motor or drive unit to be raised (tilted up) for trailering, beaching, and launching. The electric motor that drives the hydraulic pump is protected by an internal thermal circuit breaker that interrupts the power when overheated.

Page 21: 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 22 Stainless Steel / Aluminum Stainless steel is used on bow rail and deck fittings on your Pro-Line. Stainless is corrosion resistant but not corrosion proof. If used in contact with sulfides, chloride salts, or rusting metals, stainless will show rust spots, discolor or corrode.
- Page 23 Fabric: For all fabrics use dry cleaning fluid only. Corrosion Protection If you moor your Pro-Line in salt water for extended periods make sure to check the transom mounted anti-corrosion anode often for operation. Check the electrical connections (green wire) on all metallic fittings with anode for conductivity with a ohm meter.
