General Precautions
Be certain that all operators of your boat
are aware of the safety information within
this Owner’s Manual and that they use it to
conform to boat safety principles.
Boating safety starts with a thorough un-
derstanding of boat operations. In addition
to careful review of this Owner’s Manual,
you should also be aware that many sourc-
es of helpful information are available.
MasterCraft urges you to pursue additional
training prior to the independent operation
of your boat. However, training at any time
from recognized boating and/or safety or-
ganizations is benecial.

Safety Aoat
The cause of many boating accidents is
often the operator’s failure to follow basic
safety rules or written precautions. Many
accidents can be avoided if the operator is
completely familiar with the boat, its op-
eration and can recognize potentially haz-
ardous situations before an accident occurs.
Failure to comply with safety-related infor-
mation and instructions may result in seri-
ous injury or death to you and/or others.
Always use common sense when operating
the boat or participating in any activities
associated with the boat, including, but not
limited to, periods of time when the boat
engine is shut down and the boat is not in
operation.
• Improper operation of the boat is ex-
tremely dangerous! Operators must read
and understand all operating manuals
supplied with the boat, before operation.
• On-board equipment must always con-
form to the governing federal, state and
Safety Knowledge • 2014 MasterCraft Owners Manual Page 1-3
