Prior to operation, be certain that all pas-
sengers are aware of where the safety equip-
ment is stowed, the location of emergency
equipment such as re extinguishers and
how this equipment is used. In case of po-
tential emergencies, be sure that at least one
other person on-board understands how to
operate the boat.
Your safety, as well as the safety of oth-
ers with and around you, is a direct result
of how you operate and maintain your boat.
You—and anyone who will be operating
this boat—should read and seek to fully
comprehend this Owner’s Manual, and any
additional information provided by com-
ponent manufacturers and suppliers. Make
sure that you understand all of the controls
and operating instructions before attempting
to operate the boat. Improper operation is
extremely dangerous!
The basic safety rules are outlined in
this section of the Owner’s Manual. Ad-
ditional precautions throughout the Own-
er’s Manual are noted by the following
symbols:
This is the safety alert sym-
bol. It is used to alert you to
potential personal injury haz-
ards. Obey all safety messag-
es that follow this symbol to
avoid possible injury or death.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazard-
ous situation which, if not avoided, will re-
sult in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazard-
ous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result
in minor or moderate injury.
CAUTION used without the safety alert
symbol indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result
in property damage.
The precautions listed in this Owner’s
Manual and on the boat are not all-inclu-
sive. If a procedure, method, tool or part
is not specically recommended by Mas-
terCraft, using it may place you and others
in an unsafe situation; in addition, you may
render your warranty void. Remember: Al-
ways use common sense when operating,
servicing or repairing the boat!
Observing the safety recommenda-
tions found in this Owner’s Manual is
critical to keeping your boating experi-
ence as safe as possible during routine
operation. Your failure to do so may re-
sult in severe personal injury or death to
you and/or others. Use caution and com-
mon sense when operating your boat. Do
not ever take unnecessary chances!
