Fuel Sender & Fuel Pick Ups
The fuel sender and fuel pick up are accessible via the access pie that is installed aft 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. 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 to a stringer
or bulkhead 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. Therefore, the filter cartridges may need to be replaced more often depending upon usage
and conditions or if motors begin to run rough. 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.
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 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. 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 via the hatch below
the transom sink. The oil fill will be installed starboard side of the transom next to the baitwell.
Make sure that the oil tanks are well stocked with the type of engine oil that is recommended 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 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 care
and maintenance of their product. When in doubt, always defer to the engine manufacturer’s instructions
and/or recommendations.
