Additional Special Attention: 
    On-going care of the canvas is re-
quired to keep the material in good 
condition for the life of the boat. See 
Cleaning the Boat section of this Own-
er’s Manual for more information.
Additional Special Attention: 
    Note that towing with unapproved 
covers on the boat may result in dam-
age to the gel coat. MasterCraft recom-
mends the use of our towable cover only 
for towing. Other canvas covers have 
been developed and are available only 
through authorized MasterCraft dealers 
for a variety of uses.
Additional Special Attention: 
The use of canvas covers, especially darkly 
colored ones, in hot, sunny conditions, can 
result in temperatures inside the boat in 
excess of 140
o
F/60
o
C. Prolonged high tem-
peratures can heat interior metal and other 
surfaces to the point that brief contact with 
the skin may cause serious burns. Carefully 
remove the cover and allow the interior to 
ventilate and cool before allowing anyone 
onboard.
Engine Flush     
Models: 
    Available as 
an option on all 
boats. There are 
two different 
types  of  ushes 
and the installed 
option will de-
pend on the boat 
model.
Purpose: 
  Boats that will be operated in salt 
water (or brackish fresh water) need to 
be rinsed after every use, including in-
ternal engine parts where water has been 
drawn. 
Location: 
    The engine ush connection is on the 
transom, but varies on different models.
Operation: 
    The  engine  ush  connection  al-
lows for quick and easy connection to a 
shore-side garden hose or similar hose 
to  quickly  and  easily  ush  the  engine. 
See the ILMOR Engine Owner’s Manual 
for additional details regarding this im-
portant function. The ush connection is 
located on the transom.
Troubleshooting: 
1) If  a  hose  will  not  connect  to  the  ush 
connection, locate a different hose. Gar-
den hoses work ne as long as the hose 
end is not bent or misshapen.
2) If water will not enter through the ush 
connection, disconnect the hose and 
check that there is no obstruction in the 
connection area.
3) If there is no obvious reason for the 
system malfunction, take the boat to an 
authorized MasterCraft dealer for assis-
tance.
