speed only). Refer to the engine / drive manuals in your owner’s packet for specific
information.
Steering
Your Pro-Line is equipped with a self-contained hydraulic steering system. When the
steering wheel is turned, the helm pump pumps fluid to the steering cylinder causing it to
extend or retract. Periodically check the fluid level and fill if necessary. Beware of
adding too much fluid, especially if the ambient temperature is cold because subsequent
expansion could cause leaking or damage to your system (refer to manual in packet).
Every 24 hours of operation check all nuts, caps, and hose fittings for tightness. Make
sure the hoses are not chafing, or kinking on sharp corners. Also, check that hose ends
are not damaged or distorted. The fluid should be changed annually under normal
conditions and every six months during times of heavy usage. 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.

this gauge in service. It is important to verify the fuel flow in gal./hr. for your boat and
make note of your gauge position with respect to time for different RPM settings. No
gauge can give 100% accuracy. If you notice unusually high or low fuel consumption,
