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 the following
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 separately warranted, follow the care
instructions found in your owners packet to keep these warranties in force.
Your engine manual contains service information relating to your particular engine
installation. Follow the provided recommendations for trouble free service, and to preserve
your warranty.
Fiberglass / Gel Coat
The gel coated fiber glass on your Pro Line provides a smooth easy to clean and maintain
surface. Regular cleaning and waxing will preserve the finish on your boat for many years
to come.
Use a mild detergent and plenty of fresh clean water to swab down the exposed gelcoat of
your boat, don't use harsh cleaners containing ammonia, chlorine or abrasives. Do not use
acetone or any ketone solvents. Stubborn stains can be removed with alcohol or kerosene
provided they are washed off immediately and completely with mild detergent and water.
Wax all gel coated surfaces a minimum of twice a year, more often if the boat is stored in
the sun. If due to neglect the surface takes on a dull appearance that is not restoreable by
waxing, hand buff with a rubbing compound such as Dupont No. 7, or power buff with
Mirror-Glaze No 1 then wax.
Caution: when power buffing use care not to leave swirl marks or "burn" the surface. You
may want to leave power buffing to a professional.
The gel coat on your Pro Line is approximately 25 mil thick. Minor scratches and deep
stains that do not penetrate the gel coat can be lightly wet sanded with 600 grit, buffed and
waxed to remove.
If a deep gouge to the surface occurs that goes all the way through the gel coat into the
fiberglass it must be repaired promptly to avoid further damage. Your dealer is best
equipped to handle this repair and achieve good bonding and color match. There are many
different gel coat repair kits on the market for this use however results obtained may not be
satisfactory.
For damage to fiberglass that goes deeper than 1/16 inch see your Pro Line dealer.
Marine Growth
If marine growth is a problem, consult your dealer about an anti-fouling finish for the
portions of the hull below the water line. When moored in salt or brackish water it is
recommended that you haul the boat out and scrub the bottom every 30 days to prevent the
acclimation of marine growth.
Windows and Hatches
To clean acrylic, rinse with fresh water to remove as much grime as possible. Use your
bare hand with lots of water so you can feel any grit and avoid grinding it in to the surface
as you dislodge it. When all material that may scratch is gone, use a soft clean cloth with a
non abrasive mild detergent and clean fresh water. Rinse and blot dry with a clean dry
chamois.
