battery terminals through breakers or inline fuses. The circuit breaker is located at the helm next to the manual switches. Depressing the bilge pump switch to the up or forward position activates the bilge pump. If for some reason the indicator light on your bilge pump switch comes on, check your bilge for water.
To activate the pump manually, depress the switch to the up or forward position. This action will drain the fish boxes of water and/or debris, transport it into the collector box/holding tank and then to the macerator pump to be macerated and/or discharged overboard. When not in use, the switch should be left in the off or down position.
Cabin Light - Head The cabin light switch provides power to the light that is located in the head. To operate the light in the head, depress the cabin light switch on the console to the forward or on position. The light can then be turned on or off from inside the head by depressing the small button on the base of the light assembly.
Remote Spot Light Remote Spot Light Control Panel Spreader Lights and Courtesy Light (Optional) The installation of the spreader lights and courtesy light requires the optional rigid T-top. The spreader lights are mounted to the aft side of the rigid T-top frame, next to the T-top rod holders. The dome shaped courtesy light is mounted to the bottom of the T-top storage box.
deactivate the horn. Using different sequences of horn blasts indicates different and sometimes dangerous situations to you or someone around you. See the Safety section in this manual for more information. Avoid any horn use without an appropriate purpose. Additional information regarding audible warning signals should be covered in a safe boating course.
Fuel The fuel gauge reads the amount of fuel remaining in the tank. To check the fuel gauge, place a known amount of fuel into the fuel fill and fill the tank. Turn the ignition key on and the fuel gauge should read the approximate amount of fuel in the tank.
If the fresh water system is not in going to be in use, return to the switch panel and turn the cabin water system switch to the off position. When you close the faucet, the pump may run briefly.

The head macerator pump and a “Y” valve are installed in the forward bilge. You can access the pump and valve by lifting the floor hatch that is installed in the deck just forward of the seat on the front of the console.
Warning: Waste in the holding tank can form methane, an explosive gas. Use suitable precautions when any maintenance is done to the sanitary system. Sea Water System Baitwell Pump The baitwell switch at the helm controls the baitwell pump (800 gph), which is mounted on a seacock in the bilge area.
Bilge Pump Float Switch The boat is equipped with an 1100 gph bilge pump. This pump is installed as far aft as possible in the bilge. To check the operation of the bilge pump, first turn the bilge pump on at the instrument panel by pressing the bilge pump switch to the on or forward position.
When you are finished emptying the fish box, place the fish box switch in the aft position to turn off the fish box macerator pump. To check the system for drainage, remove the white 90 elbow fitting that connects the hose to the holding tank.
Note: Never pump fuel into any fitting, opening or access on the boat unless it is labeled “Gas” or “Fuel”. The external fuel vent is located below the fuel fill on the outside of the hull, and the gas tank is vented overboard. While you are filling the tank, fuel entering the tank pushes air in the tank out through the fuel vent.
If your engine package requires the installation of fuel water separators, they will be mounted on one of the stringers or bulkheads in the bilge. There is one unit for each motor. 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.
Stereo Equipment (Optional) Please refer to the owner’s manuals provided by the manufacturers of the stereo components listed in this section for operational procedures and for information related to the care and maintenance of their products. When in doubt, always defer to the component manufacturer’s instructions and/or recommendations.
Seating The following seating comes standard on the 29 Super Sport: Aluminum Leaning Post w/Rod Forward Console Seat Transom Seat Over Holders, Storage and Cooler w/Cushion and Storage the Baitwell In addition, there is the availability of a wide variety of seating options at the helm that includes: •...

Hardware Cleats Your boat is equipped with 1 standard and 6 pop-up cleats. They are installed to provide areas to permit you to tie off the boat at dockside, tie off to another boat that is anchored, secure bumpers/fenders, and/or tie off the anchor (when dropped) to prevent the line from pulling on the windlass, etc. You should never use the cleats for towing another boat or skier.
If you live in an area where it snows and you are storing your boat on a lift during the winter, make sure that you remove the drain plug. When the snow melts, if the float switch for the bilge pump happens to fail, it could flood the bilge and damage electrical components in the bilge.

Rigid T-Top with Storage Box - (Optional) The anodized aluminum frame comes with a rigid Trylon top and built in storage box. A set of 4 rod holders is permanently mounted to the aft edge of the frame; providing you with additional rod holder capacity.
Vinyl Upholstery Please see the Service and Care section of this manual for information on how to clean and care for your seat cushions and cockpit bolsters. Electronics (Optional) Based upon the availability from our vendors, this equipment changes from time to time. Therefore, we request that you refer to the owner’s manual provided by the manufacturer of your electronics equipment for operational procedures and for information related to the warranty and the care and maintenance of their product.
Operation and Performance Trim / Tilt The power trim system allows the operator to raise and lower the motors throughout an infinite number of settings between its upper and lower limits. There is a trim setting that will yield maximum speed, stability or maneuverability for every throttle setting. Refer to your engine manual for specific questions regarding the trim and tilt.
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.
• 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Tackle Box Clean the tackle box trays and storage area using a soft cloth, warm water and a mild detergent or a good marine grade cleaner that is recommended for cleaning plastic or vinyl. Never use any harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners or any hard objects, as they will damage the finish. Be sure to read the manufacturer’s directions carefully before using any cleaning product on your boat.
• Brush off loose dirt. • Hose down. • Prepare a cleaning mixture of water and mild soap (Ivory Snow, Dreft or Woolite - no detergents). Water should be cold to lukewarm. Never more than 100 degrees. • Use a soft bristle brush to clean. •...
of embossed surfaces. For stubborn stains, use either Fantastic or Mr. Clean, which are commercially available mild detergents, in accordance with manufacturers instructions. For additional information regarding the care and maintenance of this product, please refer to the Morbern brochure provided in your owner’s package for recommended methods to clean specific types of stains.
Resealing In the heat and sun, silicone and sealant can degrade over time. We recommend that you reseal around everything that comes in contact with the deck or hull with a high quality silicone such as 3M 5200 sealant annually. This includes but is not limited to the following: Cleats Windshield Bow rail stanchions...
Appendix Helpful Checklists Print and use these checklists, and do not operate your boat without doing the following: Each Time You Go On a Boat Trip Make sure you know where CO exhaust outlets are located on your vessel. Educate all passengers about the symptoms of CO poisoning and where CO may accumulate.
Trouble Shooting Chart PROBLEM: POSSIBLE CAUSE Poor speed or fuel Wrong propeller for load or conditions. economy: Trim is in too far. Load is too far forward or too heavy. Boat has taken on water. Marine growth on hull. Line or anchor is dragging. Fuel is stale or partially blocked.
