Service and Care
To enjoy trouble free use of your Pro-Line follow the recommended procedures and
instructions relating to the service and care of your boat. Failure to follow the following
maintenance practices will result in shorter life of your equipment and may void your
warranty.
Much of the installed equipment on your Pro-Line is warranted separately. Follow the
care instructions found in your owner’s packet to keep these warranties in force.
Your engine manual contains service information relating to your particular engine
installation. Follow the provided recommendations for trouble free service and to
preserve your warranty.
Fiberglass / Gel Coat
The gel coated fiberglass on your Pro-Line provides a smooth, easy to clean, and
maintain surface. Regular cleaning and waxing will preserve the finish on your boat for
many years to come.
Use a mild detergent and plenty of fresh clean water to swab down the exposed gel coat
on your boat. Do not use harsh cleaners containing ammonia, chlorine, or abrasives. Do
not use acetone or any ketone solvents. Stubborn stains may be removed with alcohol or
kerosene provided they are washed off immediately and completely with a mild detergent
and water.
Wax all gel coated surfaces a minimum of twice a year, more often if the boat is stored in
the sun. If due to neglect, the surface takes on a dull appearance that is not restorable by
waxing, hand buff with a rubbing compound such as Dupont No. 7, or power buff with
Mirror Glaze No. 1, then wax afterwards.
Caution:
when power buffing use care not to leave swirl marks or "burn" the surface.
You may want to leave power buffing to a professional.
The gel coat on your Pro-Line is approximately 25 mil thick. Minor scratches and deep
stains that do not penetrate the gel coat can be lightly wet sanded with 600 grit, buffed
and waxed to remove.
If a deep gouge to the surface occurs that goes through the gel coat into the fiberglass, it
must be repaired promptly to avoid further damage. Your dealer is best equipped to
handle this repair and achieve good bonding and color match. There are many different
gel coat repair kits on the market for this use. However, results obtained may not be
satisfactory.
See your Pro-Line dealer for fiberglass damage deeper than 1/16 inch.
Marine Growth
If marine growth is a problem, consult your dealer about an anti-fouling finish for the
portions of the hull below the water line. When moored in salt or brackish water, it is
recommended to scrub the bottom monthly, at a minimum, to prevent the accumulation
of marine growth.
Windshield and Hatches
To clean acrylic, rinse with fresh water to remove as much grime as possible. Use bare
hands with plenty of water so you can feel any grit and avoid grinding it into the surface
as you dislodge it. When all material that may scratch the surface is removed, use a soft
clean cloth with a non abrasive mild detergent and fresh water. Rinse and blot dry with a
