Lubricate the Shift and Throttle System
Because this process should be completed while all movable components of the drive
train are NOT in motion, MasterCraft recommends this be done while the boat is out of the
water.
Step 1: Ensure the engine is OFF and disconnect the engine safety starting switch. Be
sure that the throttle/shif control lever is in neutral. The engine must be
cool.
Step 2: Open the engine box and locate the shift and throttle cable ends.

Pump Impeller
This applies only to boats
equipped with some type of bal-
last system. The number of bal-
last pumps varies from system to
system. Authorized MasterCraft
dealers can provide guidance to
locate any and all pumps.
