Prompt action can mean the difference between life and death. Shut off potential sources of CO, if possible. Correct ventilation problems and/or repair exhaust problems as appropriate.
• • • • • • • • • Know where and how CO may accumulate in and around your boat. Maintain fresh air circulation throughout the boat at all times. Run exhaust blowers whenever the generator is operating. Know where your engine and generator exhaust outlets are located and keep everyone away from these areas. Never sit, teak surf or hang on the back deck or swim platform while the engines are running.
In addition, here is a list of suggested equipment you should have aboard your Pro-Line: • • • • • • • • • First aid kit and blankets Mooring lines and fenders Combination oar/boat hook Spare prop and hardware Spare fuses and bulbs Local charts and compass 2 way radio Floating key chain and spare keys Emergency food and water • • • • • • • • • Anchor and sea anchor with sufficient line Bailing device Tool kit and lubricant Spare fasteners, hose clamps and plugs Binoculars Waterproof flashlight and spare
• • 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. Regulations The USCG is the authority of all waterways. Local authorities enforce State Boating Regulations. 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 the proper authority.
Controls Controls and engine systems vary greatly from one engine manufacturer to another. Please read your engine owner’s manual carefully. Throttle & Shift Controls for Twin or Triple Ignition – Binnacle, Forward, Neutral and Reverse Gear Operation The Binnacle on the 35 Express is located on the starboard side of the console forward of the helm seat. To ensure that the Binnacle is working properly, shift the Binnacle forward to put the engine in forward gear.
Electronic Throttle & Shift Controls (Optional) Some engine packages (i.e., Mercury Verado, Mercury Opti Max DTS, etc.) include Electronic Throttle & Shift Controls. This option is also available as an option for all other engine packages. The Electronic Throttle & Shift Controls provide easier shift and throttle functions and little or no resistance. You may occasionally feel some friction at the binnacle but this can be adjusted at the binnacle per the instructions provided by the engine manufacturer.
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 as 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 the owner’s manual that was provided by your engine manufacturer.

For information on keeping your galley countertop looking like new, please refer to the Service and Care section of this manual, visit the manufacturer’s website at www.staron.com or refer to the information in your owner’s packet that was provided by the manufacturer of the countertop. As always, when in doubt, defer to the information provided by the manufacturer (Staron / Samsung).
Bonding System All metal components that have water either going through them or touching them are bonded to the zinc anodes on the transom of the boat. The zinc anodes should be checked periodically and changed when needed.
Operation and Performance Trim / Tilt The power trim system allows the operator to raise and lower the motors throughout an infinite number of settings between its upper and lower limits. There is a trim setting that will yield maximum speed, stability or maneuverability for every throttle setting. Refer to your engine manual for specific questions regarding the trim and tilt.
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. In some situations, it may be desirable to re-prop your Pro-Line to enhance the desired performance needs for your area. For instance: • • • • Decreasing the pitch will enhance acceleration and power at high loads. Increasing the pitch will increase speed at light loads.
• • Check for fuel, oil and water leaks. If any leaks are found, shut down the engines and make the necessary repairs before continuing on with your voyage. Follow the break-in procedures as recommended by the engine manufacturer for your engines. Fueling Certain precautions must be observed when fueling due to the explosive nature of gasoline. Before Fueling: • • • • • • Secure the boat to the dock with adequate moorings. Turn off the engine and any equipment having spark-producing contacts.
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. Follow the care instructions found in your owner’s packet to keep these individual warranties in force.
manufacturers today offer coatings that help protect the hull against blistering. If required, contact your Pro-Line dealer’s Service Department or another qualified service professional for further information. We recommend that your boat be cleaned often to prevent unwanted marine growth on the hull and to maintain ultimate high performance. The bottom of your boat must be kept clean. Any buildup of marine life from water will create drag and affect the boat’s performance and efficiency.
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. When replacing the filters for the fuel water separators, coat the rubber seal with a film of grease or oil to help prevent sticking.
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. All metals are subject to corrosion in some environments.
Tackle Box Clean the tackle box trays and storage area using a soft cloth, warm water and a mild detergent. Windows The frames of the cabin hatches are made of cast or extruded aluminum. The lenses/windows of all 3 styles of windows (cabin hatches, cabin portholes and mid berth cabin window) are made of Lexan or tough acrylic. Clean the frames and windows with a mild soap, lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Make sure that there is no cross contamination on the cloth. Polish with a mild automobile polish.
DON’Ts • Do not drill or break through the powder-coating film unless absolutely necessary. As much as possible, fastener holes should be drilled or punched before powder-coating. • Do not use organic solvents containing esters, ketones, alcohols, aromatic compounds, glycolic ether, or halogenated hydrocarbons. • Do not use excessively alkaline or acidic cleaners. • Do not use detergents at more than 77° F. • Do not allow contact with teak cleaners.
• • • • • • • Brush off loose dirt. Hose down. Prepare a cleaning mixture of water and mild soap (Ivory Snow, Dreft or Woolite - no detergents). Water should be cold to lukewarm. Never more than 100 degrees. Use a soft bristle brush to clean. Allow soap to soak in. Rinse thoroughly. Air dry. Never apply heat to Sunbrella fabrics. If stubborn stains persist, you can use a diluted chlorine bleach/soap mixture for spot cleaning of mildew, roof run-off or other similar stains.
For additional information regarding the care and maintenance of this product, please refer to the Morbern brochure provided in your owner’s package for recommended methods to clean specific types of stains. Exterior Vinyl – Upholstered Seats and Cockpit Bolsters Vinyl requires periodic cleaning to maintain its neat appearance and to prevent the build-up of dirt and contaminants that may permanently stain and reduce the life of the vinyl if they are not removed.
Removing Difficult Stains – Use an abrasive cleanser and a green Scotch-Brite® pad. Rub in a circular motion. Disinfecting Surfaces and Sinks - Occasionally wipe sinks and bowls with diluted household bleach (one to one bleach and water solution) to disinfect.
