Purpose:
The mirror allows the boat operator
to see behind the boat. While this is
very helpful, it is not a substitute for
an observer. Whenever there is a wake
boarder or skier behind the boat, the
operator must also have an observer
facing aft and alerting the operator
when the tow has been lost. There are
specic hand signals for activities, and
this information is available via U.S.
Coast Guard pamphlets and website.
Location:
Mirrors are mounted on the wind-
shield extrusion (metal frame) in the
driver’s compartment.
Operation:
The mirror requires no operational
procedure. It is adjustable, movable
from port to starboard and back, up
and down. Each operator should adjust
the mirror to his or her maximum aft
sighting while seated. (Boats are not
to be operated with the driver in any
location but fully seated in the driver’s
seat.)
Special Attention:
MasterCraft recommends boat owners
and operators use only MasterCraft-
installed mirrors. While there are a
number of mirrors available through
marine retailers, the mirror provided
by MasterCraft was selected to maxi-
mize the range of vision for the driver
of MasterCraft boats. If it becomes
necessary to replace a mirror, use only
MasterCraft mirrors.
Troubleshooting:
If the mirror does not stay in place af-
ter it is adjusted to the driver’s comfort,
verify that the hardware holding the
mirror in place is secure. If the driver’s
vision is obscured, be certain that the
mirror is clean. Fingerprints, sun tan oil
and a host of other common products
found in boats can cause the mirror to
become dirty and negatively affect the
driver’s vision when using the mirror.
Clean mirrors properly, as described in
the Care and Maintenance section of
this Owner’s Manual.
Prior to operation of the boat, verify that
the mirror hardware is secure. Failure to do
so may result in the mirror detaching from
the windshield extrusion. The mirror could
hit the operator or a passenger, resulting in
injury.
