Primer Bulbs; Oil Tank And Fill; Fuel / Oil Leaks; Sea Water System - Pro-Line Boats 2009 Grand Sport 29 Owner's Manual

Please refer to the owner's manual provided by your engine manufacturer for proper procedures. Some engines
will not have a separate fuel water separator located in the bilge. Instead it will be located on the engine itself.
Check engine specs.

Primer Bulbs

A primer bulb is installed for each engine, if applicable, and it is used to prime the fuel pump in the motor with fuel.
Squeeze the primer bulb a few times until resistance is felt in order to prime. If no resistance develops and the
fuel pump will not prime, you may be out of fuel, the primer bulb may be defective, or a leak may have developed
allowing air into the system. Primer bulbs, if applicable, are located with the rigging tubes where they exit the
bilge and are easy to get to by standing on the dive platform.
Note: Not all engines require primer bulbs. Refer to the engine manual for verification.

Oil Tank and Fill

Depending on your selection of the various optional engine packages (i.e., oil injected outboard engines), your
boat may be equipped with remote oil tanks. If your engine package requires the installation of an oil tank, it will
be mounted in the aft bilge area and can be accessed via the large bilge hatch. The oil fill will be installed on the
transom and will accessible from the aft cockpit or the dive platform.
Make sure that the oil tanks are well stocked with the type of engine oil that is recommended for your engines.
Refer to your engine manual. It is imperative that the oil supply remains clean and uncontaminated by water or
dirt. Check to make sure the oil lines are free from leaks, kinks and chafing. Some motors use a primer bulb to
initiate oil flow. Air may periodically enter the system and require purging. Refer to your engine manual for
specific instructions.
If your optional engine package requires the installation of remote oil tanks, please refer to the owner's manual
provided by the engine manufacturer for operational procedures and for information related to the care and
maintenance of their product. When in doubt, always defer to the engine manufacturer's instructions and/or
recommendations.

Fuel / Oil Leaks

The fuel tank is vented overboard and the vent should be inspected for obstructions regularly. Ensure all of the
fuel hoses remain properly secured and located according to NMMA standards. Inspect all hose clamps and
fittings to ensure they are double clamped where needed and that there are no fuel leaks in any of the hoses.
Also, inspect the oil system, if applicable, and ensure that the oil tank and hoses remain properly connected and
secured.
If you notice a fuel odor or see fuel in the bilge, there may be a leak somewhere in the fuel system. Correct any
fuel leaks before operating the vessel.
Caution: If at all possible, any fuel tank and or fuel system repair should be handled by your
dealer's service department or by another qualified service professional.

Sea Water System

Baitwell Pump

The baitwell switch at the helm controls the baitwell pump (1100 gph),
which is mounted on a seacock in the bilge area. The baitwell pump
and seacock are accessible via the bilge hatch. Raw water for the
baitwell tub comes through the seacock, to the baitwell pump and then
to the baitwell tub.
Before turning the pump on from the helm, check to be sure that the
seacock is open. The seacock is wide open when the yellow seacock
lever is vertical. When the yellow seacock lever is horizontal, the
seacock is closed. The seacock should remain closed when the
baitwell pump is not in use.
The hose on the
lower port feeds
raw water to the
washdown pump.
