Hi I have just bought a 251 WA 1998.  I have no owners manual can anybody point me in the right direction to get a copy I'm in the UK so telephone can be awkward with the time difference  email would suit better.  I cannot work out the multitude of bilges pumps macerators what does what job etc or even how to switch them on!!  Wheres the fresh water inlet for instance?  Without the owners manual I really struggling here.  any help would be appreciated.

Dont know your boat specifically  But look for the fresh water inlet on the inboard Port "wing" of the Walkaround cabin side , down low in passenger feet area f ew inches off the deck, Looks like a fuel fill metal cap that has a slot for" key".
Flange might say water on it,
Rear bilge should be automatic from float and manual from dash swithc should say bilge. CAbin bilge likely dash operated switch  unless it is also shower pump, switch should say fomething like forward bilge.
DOnt know macerator pumps, as i have 96  231 with gravity drains but a couple of the guys here may be able to help and also send you a copy of manual.
also there is a proline rep here from time to time that may have pdf file avail.

I have the I/O version......

The FW fill is on the starboard side of the cabin.
The live well switch is labeled "Access" and is one of the 2 next to the ignition switch.
The washdown is a toggle switch mounted next to the hose bib in that same assembly.
Macerator is the fishbox pump. Bilge is bilge.

The owners' manual is not too detailed. It is more about operating than nuts and bolts.

I can scan a copy of the pertinent pages for you and send e-mail. The OB version will vary slightly. Just let me know.
