Fuel Sender & Fuel Pick Ups; Fuel Water Separators; Primer Bulbs; Oil Tank And Oil Fill - Pro-Line Boats 32 Express 2006 Owner's Manual

Note: Never pump fuel into any fitting, opening or access on the boat unless it is labeled
"Gas" or "Fuel".
Fuel Sender & Fuel Pick Ups
To access the fuel sender and fuel pick up, lift the bilge hatch. At the forward edge of the hatch opening,
there is a rectangular panel that is held in place with 6 screws. When you remove the panel, you will see
the fuel sender and fuel pick ups.
The fuel sender is equipped with a float that moves up and down with the fuel level in the tank. The fuel
level information is sent to the fuel gauge and keeps you informed of the approximate fuel level in the
tank. If you feel that your fuel gauge is reading incorrectly, before considering changing the gauge, have
your Pro-Line dealer's Service Department or a qualified professional remove the fuel sender and check
to make sure that the float is able to move up and down freely.

Fuel Water Separators

Depending on your selection of the various optional engine packages, your boat may be equipped with a
fuel water separator for each engine. However, some engines come equipped with a built in fuel water
separator. Please refer to the owner's manual provided by the manufacturer of your engine package 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.
If your engine package requires the installation of fuel water separators, they will be mounted in the bilge
on the inside of the port and starboard stringers. 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. Therefore, the filter cartridges may need to be replaced more often
depending upon usage and conditions or if motors begin to run rough.
cartridges for the fuel water separators, coat the rubber seal with a film of grease or oil to help prevent
sticking.
If water should somehow enter your fuel tank via condensation, your fuel source, etc., it will become
trapped in the fuel water separator before it is able to travel through the fuel system and to your engine.
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.
If you have selected the optional air conditioner system, a designated fuel water separator will also be
installed on the inside of the port stringer specifically for this optional installation.

Primer Bulbs

There is a primer bulb installed for each engine 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. The 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 Oil 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 bilge beneath the transom sink and can be accessed by removing the
battery switch panel. The oil fill will be installed starboard of the transom sink in the recess beneath the
transom sink lid.
