Step 2: For normal starting, leave the throttle lever in neutral. The electronic controls will meter the correct fuel and
air automatically.
Step 3: Turn the key switch to the start position and hold until the engine starts. Release the key as soon as the engine
starts. If the engine does not start within 10-15 seconds:
a) Pull out the neutral detent.
b) Advance the throttle lever to wide-open throttle and crank the engine. When the engine fi res, quickly
return the throttle to the idle position.
Do not operate the starter motor continuously for more than fifteen (15) seconds without at least two (2) minutes for
a “cool-down” period. Failure to do so may cause the starter to overheat, resulting in damage. Failure to release the
ignition key after the engine has started may cause damage to the starter motor and drive.
Note: While the engine is warming up, check to see that all lights and gauges operate
properly, as well as the steering. There should be no apparent leaks under pressure. Re-engage
the control lever after warm-up by returning the lever to neutral and pushing the throttle button
back into the engage position.
Step 4: Always allow the engine to warm up to normal operation temperature before accelerating. EFI engines,
including all late-model MasterCraft engines, are programmed with a phased warm-up to ensure that the
engine is warm before full RPM is possible.
103 F (40 C) or less: 3,000 RPMs
104 to 139 F (41 to 59 C) at least 10 seconds after starting: 4,200 RPM
140 (60 C) and higher, at least 10 seconds after starting: Full RPM
Shifting Gears
When shifting, always move the control lever smoothly and quickly into gear. Do not hesitate. Slow gear en-
gagement could damage the shifting mechanism in the transmission. Always allow the engine speed to fall to low idle
(600-800 RPM) before making a gear shift.

NOTE: Always start the engine with the
control lever in the neutral position or with the
shift disengaged. Your boat is equipped with
a neutral-start safety switch that will not al-
low the engine to be started in gear. On EFI
engines, if the engine fl oods, it can be cleared
by pushing the button that is in the throttle
arm and advancing the throttle to full open—
100 percent of its travel—and turning the key
switch to the start position. The ECM shuts off
the fuel supply to the injectors so that no fuel
will be delivered during the cranking cycle.
When the engine starts, immediately return
the throttle to the idle position so that the en-
gine will not over-rev.
Starting the Engine
Step 1: Attach the emergency engine safety switch
tether (lanyard) between an article of your
clothing and the switch.
