Safety

Your Pro-Line boat has been constructed with safety in mind. However, the ultimate

safety of you and your passengers is in your hands. Plan your trips carefully. Insure

ample fuel supply and a reserve. Tell someone where you are going and when you

expect to return. Keep current charts onboard. Read USCG boating safety circulars and

follow the safety guidelines.

Regulations

The USCG is the authority of all waterways. State boating regulations are enforced by

local authorities. You are subject to marine traffic laws and "Rules of the Road" for both

federal and state waterways. Therefore, you must submit to boarding if requested by

proper authority. There are many publications available from the Coast Guard

concerning regulations. Call the Boating Safety Hot Line at (800)-368-5647 for

additional information.

Equipment

USCG regulations require the following Coast Guard approved equipment while

operating your boat:

* Fire extinguisher

* Personal Flotation Device (PFD) for each occupant

* One throwable PFD

* Sound signal device

* Navigational lights if operated at night

* Sight signal device (approved for day and night use) when in coastal waters or

great lakes.

In addition, here is a list of suggested equipment you should have aboard your Pro-Line:

* First aid kit and blankets * Anchor and sea anchor with sufficient line

* Mooring lines and fenders * Bailing device

* Combination oar / boat hook * Tool kit and lubricant

* Spare prop and hardware * Spare fasteners, hose clamps, and plugs

* Spare fuses and bulbs * Binoculars

* Local charts and compass * Waterproof flashlight and spare batteries

* 2 way radio * EPIRB (emergency beacon)

* Floating key chain and spare keys * Navigation device

* Emergency food and water * Waterproof matches or lighter

Passenger Safety

You are responsible for the safety and conduct of your passengers. Make sure that:

* You instruct passengers on proper use and location of PFD's. Children

and non-swimmers should wear one at all times.

* Each passenger is in a safe location when underway and knows to keep

the boat balanced.

* At least one other person knows how to operate the boat in case of emergency.

* They are aware of prop dangers and the possibility of sudden maneuvers and

jolts.

* The engine is turned off and the key is removed when swimmers are near the

prop or using the dive platform.

* All passengers keep away from lines under stress in case they break and recoil.

Rules of the Road

Know and use the rules of the road. The information here is only a brief overview.

Contact the USCG for detailed information.

Audible warning signals:

* One short horn blast: starboard course change.

* Two short horn blasts: port course change.

* Three short horn blasts: astern operation.

* Five horn blasts: doubt about previous signal, or danger.

* One Five second horn blast every minute: for fog operation.

When overtaking, give-way vessel announces intention with horn blast(s) and waits for a

response then completes maneuver.

When approaching head-on, both boats give way after giving appropriate horn blast(s)

(preferably to starboard).

When crossing, a vessel converging from starboard has the right-of-way. Port vessel

gives way (both acknowledge with one short horn blast).

Know and observe navigational buoys and markers.

Give way to craft under sail.

Hazardous Conditions

Keep track of weather developments and avoid hazardous conditions if possible. When

forced to operate your Pro-Line in storm conditions:

* Wear PFD's.

* Stow loose gear and equipment.

* Place heavy items as low as possible.

* Head for the easiest to reach safe location.

* Reduce speed. You are moving too fast if the boat leaves the water.

* If power fails, anchor or rig a sea anchor off the bow (an empty ice chest in a

pinch).

* Stay with the boat if it capsizes unless it is burning out of control.

Alcohol

Don't drink and drive. If you have been drinking, have a designated driver who has not

been drinking. Never operate a boat under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Carbon Monoxide

Be aware of and avoid conditions that can cause carbon monoxide poisoning (see USCG

boating safety circular 77). Sources of carbon monoxide include any gas or diesel engine

and any flame from items such as a charcoal grill, stove, or heater. Carbon monoxide can

accumulate to deadly levels in enclosed spaces. Always ventilate occupied areas of

vessel with fresh clean air.

Fire

Be aware of and avoid conditions that can lead to accidental fire. Guard against and

watch for fuel spills and leaks. Inspect wiring for damage or exposure that could lead to

short circuits or arcing. Make sure those who smoke are careful to avoid accidental fire

ignition. Do not allow smoking while fueling. Keep a USCG approved fire extinguisher

on board at all times. Inspect the fire extinguisher regularly and learn how to properly

use it (instruct others as well). Use water to fight a fire as a last resort after making

arrangements to abandon the boat if a fire should get out of control. Keep the following

in mind if a fire is burning out of control and you must abandon the boat:

* Abandon the boat into the wind to minimize burn risk from floating fuel.

* Wear a PFD unless you must swim under burning fuel.

* If swimming under burning fuel, throw a PFD outside of the burning area and

swim under the burning fuel to it.

Flooding

Be aware of and avoid conditions that can cause your boat to flood with water.

Possible causes of flooding include: damage to hull or thru-hull fitting, waves washing

into the boat, water entering cockpit due to improper loading, or failure to properly install

drain plug. The boat will become flooded and may swamp, capsize, or sink if water

enters the boat faster than the bilge pump can expel it.

Controls

Pro-Line Boats offers many different motor choices. Therefore, the information in this

manual is general in regard to engines and controls. Refer to the engine manual in your

owner’s packet for additional specific information.

Helm

Ignition

The ignition switch has three positions: “OFF”, “ON”, and “START”. To start the

engine: attach safety lanyard and turn the key clockwise against the spring pressure to

the “Start” position. Once the engine starts, release clockwise pressure allowing spring

tension to return switch to the “ON” position. Some engine models incorporate the choke

into the ignition key switch. See the engine manual for specific details.

Choke

The choke is only used to aid in starting a cold engine. Choke operation varies with

manufacturer. Consult your engine manual.

Lanyard Stop Switch

The safety Lanyard Stop Switch shuts off the engine in case the operator is thrown from

the boat. Always attach the lanyard securely to the operator to insure proper functioning.

Shift/ Throttle/ Trim

Your Pro-Line can be ordered with different shift / throttle systems based upon motor

type. Refer to the owner's packet to find the manual pertaining to your particular

installation. Each motor has an individual tilt / trim switch located on the port throttle

lever. Separate shift and throttle controls are available for each outboard motor. The

throttle lever has three range positions: “Forward”, “Neutral”, and “Reverse”. The shift

function occurs in the first portion of the lever travel. After the transmission is shifted

into gear, further movement of the lever advances the throttle. Push the throttle lever

ahead to move forward and pull it back for reverse. Centralize the lever to the detent for

neutral. The throttle lever is equipped with a neutral safety switch to prevent the motor

from starting in gear. Practice shifting a few times without the engine running to develop

a feel for the range and friction of the system. The initial short movement of the lever to

engage the transmission should be made firmly to avoid causing gear clash. CAUTION:

Use care in shifting to avoid advancing the throttle more than intended. Practice in a

safe area away from obstacles until familiar with the feel of the throttle. The throttle can

be operated independent of the transmission. If attempting to start an engine this way,

keep a hand on the throttle to pull it back as the engine clears to prevent over revving.

The shift / throttle levers can be operated independently for precise maneuvering (do so at

slow speed only). Refer to the engine / drive manuals in your owner’s packet for specific

information.

Steering

Your Pro-Line is equipped with a self contained hydraulic steering system. When the

steering wheel is turned, the helm pump pumps fluid to the steering cylinder causing it to

extend or retract. Periodically check the fluid level and fill if necessary. Beware of

adding too much fluid, especially if the ambient temperature is cold because subsequent

expansion could cause leaking or damage to your system (refer to manual in packet).

Every 24 hours of operation check all nuts, caps, and hose fittings for tightness. Make

sure the hoses are not chafing or kinking on sharp corners. Also, check that hose ends are

not damaged or distorted. The fluid should be changed annually under normal conditions

and every six months during times of heavy usage. If your steering does not operate

properly, first check for: drive entanglements, fluid level, hoses / fittings for leaks, and /

or air in the system.

Instruments

Your Pro-Line's instrumentation will vary from model to model and engine to engine.

Therefore, the following descriptions are general. Refer to your engine manual for

specifics.

Fuel Gauge

Differences in temperature, humidity, speed, and trim can affect the actual accuracy of

this gauge in service. It is important to verify the fuel flow in gal./hr. for your boat and

make note of your gauge position with respect to time for different RPM settings. No

gauge can give 100% accuracy. If you notice unusually high or low fuel consumption,

investigate further to see if the engine is using more fuel than normal or the gauge has

failed.

Temperature

The temperature gauge indicates the internal temperature of your engine. Your engine is

equipped with a thermostat to quickly bring the engine up to its optimum operating

temperature range. Outboard engines are also equipped with an audio alarm system

indicating an overheat condition. Many times overheating may occur due to a blockage

of the water intakes caused by aquatic vegetation or mud. Check the water intakes for

blockage and see the engine manual for specific details.

Volt

The volt meter indicates battery voltage. A low reading indicates too heavy of a load or a

malfunction in the charging system. Too high of a voltage reading indicates a fault in the

charging circuitry and continued operation will damage the battery. Refer to engine

manual for specifications.

Tachometer

The tachometer indicates the revolutions per minute (RPM) of your engine. Do not

operate the engine beyond the limits stated in your engine manual. Abnormally low

tachometer readings (for a given throttle setting) indicates loss of power, or a prop

entangled with weeds or trash. Check the prop first. A reading higher than normal may

indicate a ventilating or cavitating prop as well as possible prop / drive damage.

Speedometer

The speedometer indicates the speed of your boat in Miles Per Hour (MPH) and

Kilometers Per Hour (Km/H). The gauge operates by sensing water impact pressure from

the pitot tube which is mounted on the transom (or integrated into the lower drive unit of

the motor) depending upon the motor manufacture. Suspect a blocked pickup if the

gauge fails to give a reading.

Trim

The trim gauge indicates the in (down) and out (up) position of the drive unit in relation

to the hull (see Trim / Tilt on p.24).

Options

Optional instrumentation for your Pro-Line includes: fish locator / depth finder, VHF

radio, GPS navigation aids, etc.. Refer to the manuals supplied.

Bilge Pumps

Your 27 Walk is equipped with three automatic bilge pumps. The main pump is located

in the bilge area at the keel. The secondary bilge pump is located at the keel near the

transom and the forward pump is located below the cabin area at the keel. The main and

forward pumps have a manual switch at the helm which overrides normal automatic

operation. The secondary pump is only automatic and does not have a manual switch

override. The automatic float switches are wired directly to the battery terminals through

breakers or inline fuses. Circuit breakers for the main and forward pumps are located at

the helm next to the manual switches. Keep the bilge area clean and free from debris that

could clog ports or inhibit float movement. Also, keep the battery that provides power to

the bilge pumps charged. If the battery is discharged and flooding occurs, the boat could

swamp causing damage and possible loss of life or property.
