General Common Sense Advice
Avoid any activity that may result in
damage to the boat, thereby voiding the
warranty. Some things, such as avoiding
stationary objects, are obvious. However,
even less obvious activities can cause dam-
age to a boat, no matter how well-built. For
example, while a beach or shoreline may
seem soft while walking on it, running a
boat up onto shore may result in signicant
scratches in the berglass nish. The causes
of many kinds of damage are usually quite
obvious to trained service personnel, and if
they determine that damage was caused by
misuse or activity such as “beaching,” such
results may void your warranty.
MasterCraft cannot anticipate every
type of activity or neglect that could result
in damage to the boat or that may cause
illness, injury or even death to boaters.
The operator, owner and/or all persons on
board are responsible for using common
sense and a careful thought process to en-
sure that every measure has been taken to
keep boating enjoyable for many years to
come. A MasterCraft boat can be the source
of countless hours of family fun, as well as
building friendships. But the boating ex-
perience remains safe only if YOU, and
everyone on board, use your head before,
during and after your boating activity.
As you anticipate many good times ahead
with the MasterCraft boat, be sure that, rst
and foremost, you are well-prepared to be
responsible.
