Models:
All.
Purpose:
MasterCraft has developed an exten-
sive re suppression and extinguishing
system for its boats. All MasterCraft X-
Series are equipped with an automatic
re suppression system. The automatic
system operates from sensors in the
engine room and will automatically
release a clean-agent, gaseous chemi-
cal that does not leave residue behind.
V-drive boats have also been specied
to carry a hand-held 2.5 lb. monoam-
monium phosphate expellant (dry
chemical) unit, which is rated Class A
(trash, wood and paper), Class B (UL
Approved) and Class C (energized
electrical equipment). These units
should be used in situations other than
engine compartment res. All V-drives
are specied for one (1) dry chemical,
hand-held extinguisher. This is in ad-
dition to the suppression system in the
engine compartment.
Hand-held units should be replaced
or recharged as soon as possible after
use, or after 12 years from the date of
manufacture.
In the event of any evidence of a re
within the engine compartment, DO
NOT OPEN THE ENGINE COM-
PARTMENT (BOX).
Opening an engine compartment when
there is indication of a fire inside can cause
the fire to flare up and/or spread, which
may result in extensive damage or even
sinking of the boat and/or serious injury or
death to people on board.
Shut down the engine and blowers.
Continuously discharge the entire con-
tents of the re suppression unit imme-
diately.
