Fuel Sender & Fuel Pick Ups
The fuel sender and fuel pick up are accessible via the round deck hatch installed just forward of the
transom. 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 service 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 stringer and/or bulkheads. 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. 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. When replacing the filter cartridges
for the fuel water separators, coat the rubber seal with a film of grease or oil to help prevent sticking.
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. In this case, the engine
manufacturer will install it in the engine. Check engine specs.
Primer Bulbs
Depending on your selection of the various optional engine packages, your boat may be equipped with
primer bulbs. If required, a primer bulb will be installed for each engine. Primer bulbs are used to prime
the fuel pump in the motor with fuel. Squeeze the primer bulb a few times until resistance is felt. 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 installed in the bilge area. The exact mounting location is dependent upon which power
package you have selected. The oil fill will be installed on the outside of the transom and will be
accessible from the starboard side of the dive platform.
Make sure that the oil tanks are well stocked with the type of engine oil that is recommended by your
engine manufacturer 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
