Fuel / Oil System
The fuel tanks on your Pro-Line are made of aluminum with internal baffling to minimize
sloshing. The tanks are vented overboard and the vents should be inspected for
obstructions regularly. Deck plate access ports are placed over the hose connections and
the sending units. Inspect the hose connections on a regular basis. There may be a leak
somewhere in the fuel system if you notice a fuel odor or see fuel in the bilge. Correct
any fuel leaks before operating the vessel.
Two valves in the bilge allow either engine to draw fuel from either tank, or to be shut
off. The normal position is port engine to port tank and starboard engine to starboard
tank. The selector valves may be used to allow one engine to draw from both tanks
should one motor fail, or for both motors to draw from one tank if one tank should
become empty or malfunction. If one tank is full and the other is empty or partially full,
the valves can be used to allow fuel to be drawn from the fullest tank. Return the valves
to normal position when the tanks are balanced. The valves may also be used to shut off
the fuel in case of a leak or to service the fuel system.
Fuel filter / water separators should be renewed every season at a minimum. Fuel tanks
that are not kept full accumulate water faster due to condensation. Replace the separators
as needed when usage is high or if motors begin to run rough. When replacing the filters
/ separators, coat the rubber seal with a film of grease or oil to help prevent sticking.
Primer bulbs are used to prime the fuel pump in the motor with fuel. Squeeze the 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.
Pro-Line boats equipped with oil injected outboard engines have remote oil tanks located
in the aft end of the bilge. Insure that the tanks are well stocked with the recommended
two stroke oil - refer to your engine manual. It is imperative the oil supply remain 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. Sometimes
air may enter the system and require purging. Refer to your engine manual for specific
instructions.
