Inspect all hose connections on a regular basis. You can access the other end of the fuel fill and fuel vent
hoses via the round deck plate that is installed just below the fuel fill fitting on the inside the cockpit.
Fuel Fill and Fuel Vent
The fuel fill is a stainless steel fitting labeled “Gas” or “Fuel” and is
located approximately amidships on the starboard gunwale. Twist the
cap to open the fitting. The cap is connected to the fitting by a chain or
cable so that it will not fall into the water and/or get lost. Be careful not
to pump fuel into any other fitting on the vessel.
The external fuel vent is located just 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 Sender & Fuel Pick Ups
The fuel sender and fuel pick up are accessible via the access pie that is installed aft of the helm seat.
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 to a stringer
or bulkhead 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.
Please refer to the owner’s manual provided by your engine manufacturer for proper procedures. Some
engines will not have a separate fuel water separator located in the bilge. Instead it will be located on the
engine itself. Check engine specs.
Primer Bulbs
There is a primer bulb installed for each engine and it is used to prime the fuel pump in the motor with
fuel. Squeeze the primer bulb a few times until resistance is felt in order to prime. If no resistance
