Page 43: Propellers
Propellers If your Pro-Line was ordered with a factory installed engine, it will have a propeller that has been performance tested to provide the best all-round performance for your engine/hull combination at sea level.

Page 45: Trailering And Launching
Trailering and Launching Selecting a Trailer Choose the proper trailer for your boat and make sure the trailer you use is certified. Consult your state authority for state regulations pertaining to trailering a boat. More damage can be done to a boat by the stress of road travel than by normal water operation. - Page 46 • Too much weight on the rear of the trailer will cause the trailer to "fishtail" and may reduce traction or even lift the rear wheels of the tow vehicle off the ground. • The safety chains are attached crisscrossing under the coupler to the frame of the tow vehicle.

Page 47: Backing A Trailer
Backing a Trailer Practice backing with a trailer before you get into a confined launch site. Get accustomed to using the trailer in an open area. Take someone with you who knows how to back a trailer. Backing a trailer works the opposite of backing a car. -
Page 48: Launching

Page 49: Service And Care
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 proper 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. -
Page 50: Graphics
This is done so that the epoxy coat will properly adhere to the hull, and when done correctly, will not void the hull warranty. Pro-Line Boats does not recommend using an etching primer in lieu of sanding the bottom. -
Page 51: Fuel Water Separators
Fuel Water Separators If fuel water separators are installed on your boat, 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, filter cartridges may need to be replaced more often depending upon usage and conditions or if motors begin to run rough. -
Page 52: Stainless Steel
Stainless Steel Stainless steel is used for bow rails and deck fittings on your Pro-Line. Stainless steel is not completely free from corrosion attack. It is NOT stain or rust proof. When used in contact with chloride salts, sulfides or other rusting metals, stainless will discolor, rust or even corrode. The degree of surface oxidation is directly affected by local atmosphere and saltwater concentrations. -

Page 56: Resealing
Resealing In the heat and sun, silicone and sealant can degrade over time.
