Starting & Basic Operation
2007 MasterCraft Owners Manual - Page 9-1
NOTE: If you are operating this boat for the fi rst time, you must follow the New Boat Break-In
procedures as described in the previous section. Failure to follow these procedures could result in
serious engine damage and would void your warranty!
Before Starting
Familiarize yourself with the controls and indicators used on your MasterCraft boat. Perform all Safety Checks
and Services as described earlier. Perform all Scheduled Maintenance Checks and Services also.
Step 1: Lift the engine cover and inspect the bilge and engine compartment for any fl uid leakage. We recommend
lifting the engine compartment cover for inspection before each use.
Step 2: Operate the bilge blower for at least four (4) minutes. Leave the bilge blower ON through the starting pro-
cess and until the boat has planed. Check the hull drain plugs. Make sure they are installed and secure.
To prevent a possible explosion, operate the blower for at least four (4) minutes before starting the engine and always
when at idle or slow-running speed. Explosive gasoline and/or battery fumes may be present in the engine compart-
ment. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death!
Before starting the engine, open the engine compartment and check for gasoline fumes, fuel and oil leaks or the pres-
ence of fuel or oil in the bilge.
