NOTE: When shift-
ing from forward to re-
verse or reverse to for-
ward, be sure to stop
the control lever in the
neutral position and al-
low the engine to fall
between 600-800 RPM
before completing the
shift.
Underway
If the oil pressure
gauge indicates low or no oil
pressure, stop and check the
oil level. If the temperature
gauge indicates overheating,
stop and check the raw wa-
ter impeller for blockage. DO
NOT operate the boat until
the cause for the warning has
been found and corrected.

Forward: Raise the lifter ball under the lever knob and then push the control lever forward into the fi rst 45 degrees
of travel. Throttle movement will begin after 45 degrees.
Reverse: Raise the lifter ball under the lever knob and briskly pull the control lever back into the 45 degrees of travel.
Throttle movement will begin after 45 degrees.
Once the shift has been completed, continue to move the control lever slowly in the desired direction to increase
speed.
Continued operation after the warning light has illuminated may cause severe engine damage. This will void
your warranty.
Stopping
Step 1: Slowly bring the control lever to the neutral position. If the boat has been driven for a long period of time
or at high speed, allow the engine a 2-3 minute cool-down period at low idle (600-800 RPM).
Step 2: Turn the ignition key to the OFF position to stop the engine.
Step 3: If any problems were encountered during operation, have the boat inspected by your MasterCraft dealer.
Request any necessary repairs before operating again.
