After Market Accessories
Your Pro-Line's electrical system was designed for factory tested and approved dealer
installed optional accessories. Pro-Line makes no recommendations to the suitability of
accessories that are not listed in the Pro-Line sales literature. Any unapproved
modifications or additions to the standard or optional system are done at the owner’s risk
and may void the warranty. Unapproved modifications could result in risk of fire or
failure of the electrical system. A pull wire is installed in the optional top to facilitate
installation of electronics. The wire is located on the starboard side, forward corner of
the overhead electronics box. Use the factory supplied buss bar for connections. Make
sure, the circuit is protected by a fuse or breaker and the wire is properly sized for the
load and length of run.
Trailering and Launching
Consult your trailer manufacturer for specific information relating to your particular
trailer. Pro-Line does not make or recommend the use of any particular trailer. Make
sure the trailer you use is certified. Consult your state authority for state regulations
pertaining to trailering a boat. A special permit may be required by your state due to the
wide beam of your

.
Use the following towing check-list as a guideline:
* Check brakes if equipped.
* Check springs and under carriage for cracks, loose parts, and fasteners.
* Insure tires are inflated to proper pressure and in good condition.
* Check wheel bearings and lug nuts.
* Verify light and signal operation.
* Make sure boat is tied down from bow and stern eyes.
* Stow items likely to blow off or out of the boat.
* Carry a spare tire and tools for changing (spare bearing and race set for
long trips).
* Securely brace O/B motors.
* Go slow over bumps.
* Check tires and hubs often for excessive heat. Service if required.
* Have an assistant watch blind spots and guide with signals when backing.
Capacity
The trailer you choose should be a proper match for your boat with regard to capacity and
hull design. Consult your dealer when making your selection. The tow vehicle must
have sufficient towing capacity for the combined load of boat, trailer and accessories.
Check the certification label on the forward port (left) side of your trailer to insure it has
adequate gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for the combined boat and trailer. The
boat weight must include the weight of the empty hull, motors, full fuel and fresh water
capacities, accessories, equipment, and provisions.
Hitch
Insure the hitch on the tow vehicle is rated for the gross total weight (GTW) or greater,
and the ball size matches the trailer receiver.
Load Distribution
In general, the tongue weight should be from 5 to 10 % of the GVWR. Make certain the
hull is evenly supported along the length and width of the trailer with no load
concentrations. The bottom of the transom should be supported and not hanging past the
