Fuel Fill
Fuel Vent
The external fuel vent is located below the fuel fill on the outside of
the hull, and the gas tank is vented overboard. While you are filling
the tank, fuel entering the tank pushes air in the tank out through the
fuel vent.
Note: Never pump fuel into any fitting, opening or
access on the boat unless it is labeled “Gas” or
“Fuel”.
Fuel Tank
The 240-gallon fuel tank is constructed of heavy gauge aluminum with internal baffling to minimize sloshing. The
fuel tank is located under the deck and is secured between the stringers and bulkheads.
Located below the oval access pie installed
at the forward edge of the bilge opening.

Inspect all hose connections on a regular basis. You can the access other end of the fuel fill and fuel vent hoses
via the round access plate that is installed just below the fuel fill fitting on the starboard gunwale.
Fuel Sender and Fuel Pick Ups
The fuel sender and fuel pick-ups are accessible via the oval access pie installed
at the forward edge of the bilge
opening
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 on one of the
stringers or bulkheads 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.
