Vented Fuel Fill Fitting; Fuel Sender & Fuel Pick Up; Fuel Water Separator; Primer Bulb - Pro-Line Boats 17 Sport 2006 Owner's Manual

Vented Fuel Fill Fitting

The vented fuel fill fitting is labeled "Gas" or "Fuel" and is located
approximately admidships on the starboard gunwale. Twist the cap to
open the fitting. The cap is connected to the fitting by a chain or cable
so that it will not fall into the water and/or get lost. Be careful not to
pump fuel into any other fitting on the vessel.
While you are filling the tank, fuel entering the tank pushes air in the
tank out through the vented fuel fitting.
Note: Never pump fuel into any fitting, opening or access on the boat unless it is labeled
"Gas" or "Fuel".
Fuel Sender & Fuel Pick Up
The fuel sender and fuel pick up are accessible via the access pie that is installed aft of the console and
forward of the helm seat. 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.
considering changing the gauge, have your Pro-Line dealer's Service Department or a qualified service
professional remove the fuel sender and check to make sure that the float is able to move up and down
freely.

Fuel Water Separator

Depending on your selection of the various optional engine packages, your boat may be equipped with a
fuel water separator for the 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 a fuel water separator, it will be mounted to a stringer or
bulkhead inside of the bilge. The "spin on" filter cartridge should be renewed every season at a minimum.
Fuel tanks that are not kept full accumulate water faster due to condensation. Therefore, the filter
cartridge may need to be replaced more often depending upon usage and conditions or if the motor
begins to run rough. When replacing the filter cartridge for the fuel water separator, 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.

Primer Bulb

A primer bulb may be installed with your engine package. 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 bulb (if applicable) is located with the
rigging tubes where they exit the bilge and are easily accessible in the motor well area.
Note: Not all engines require a primer bulb. Refer to the engine manual for verification.
