Pro-Line Boats 27 Walkaround, Owner'S Manual

Page: 11 / 33

Windshield Wiper (optional)
For operation in rain or adverse conditions, optional windshield wipers enhance visibility from the
helm and therefore safety.
Windlass (optional)
Refer to the windlass manual for operation of the optional windlass. The Windlass is protected by a
breaker located on the helm breaker panel.
Bilge Pump
Your Pro-Line is equipped with an automatic bilge pump system with a manual on switch. The
main pump is located at the aft end of the bilge at the keel. A forward bilge bump is under the
cabin. The automatic float switch is wired directly to the battery terminal through an in-line fuse.
Keep the bilge area clean and free from debris that could clog ports. The helm switch overrides
normal automatic operation. Circuit breakers are located at the helm (and on the transom breaker
box 29w/a & 27 sp). Keep the battery that the bilge pump is attached to charged. If the battery is
discharged and flooding occurs the boat could swamp, causing damage and possible loss of life or
property.
Blower
Pro-Line's equipped with an stern drive have a bilge blower to rid the bilge of explosive fumes.
Always operate the blower a minimum of four minutes and check bilge for fumes before starting
the engine. Operate the blower whenever engine is running and the boat is stopped (or operating at
low speed). At planing speed, air blows through the bilge ventilating the engine compartment so
blower operation is usually unnecessary.
Lights
For operation at night your Pro-Line is equipped with navigation and anchor lights to indicate your
position to other boaters. While running after dark the nav. lights are required to be on and visible
to other boaters, visually verify operation and lack of obstructions. Lights are also provided for the
cockpit, helm and cabin, as well as spreader lights.
Breaker Switches
The wiring on your Pro-Line is protected by circuit breaker or fuse. If a device stops working first
suspect the circuit breaker is tripped (or fuse blown).
A tripped breaker will protrude from its set position, indicating that the circuit has been overloaded.
Turn off the device(s) on the circuit then reset the breaker by pushing in once. If the breaker does
not reset, or if it resets and then pops out again after the device is turned back on, then a short
circuit exists, or your device may be damaged, overloaded or faulty. Correct the problem and then
reset the breaker. If the breaker continues to pop and you are certain the device, switch and wiring
are in good repair; either the breaker is too small for the load, or is faulty. Reduce the load, or
replace the breaker.
Trim Tabs (optional)
The optional trim tabs operate independently up or down to correct for differing conditions of wind
or load.
