MasterCraft csx 220 User Manual

on it will signal the system that fuel should be sent to the port engine. The
engines can be run at different levels of throttle.
The CSX 265 has a two-lever control. On the port side is the port
engine shifter/throttle control, and pushing forward will move the boat
forward. The starboard side lever is the starboard engine shifter/throttle
control. The engines can be run at different levels of throttle.
This system allows greater maneuverability in docking, as well as
when the boat is in operation.
However, it requires more practice
and skill in order to avoid potential damage to the boat. See
Engine Synchronizing Switch in this section of the Owner’s
Manual for more details.
During regular warm-up of the engine, it is possible to temporarily
increase the engine RPMs without moving the boat. To accomplish this,
pull outward (lateral to the unit) on the engine shift/throttle control.
The engine will run with increased RPMs and can be increased or
decreased by moving the lever. Returning the handle to the neutral
position (as shown in illustration above) will bring the system back to
neutral and reduce the engine RPMs to pre-set levels.
This function should be done sparingly. Over-revving the engine for
any extended period can cause undue wear and tear on the engine. Avoid
advancing to wide-open-throttle and holding the RPMs at that level.
Shower and/or
Slick Boot Switch
(Optional Installations on Most Models)
A single three-position switch mounted in
an aft position storage area controls the op-
tional shower and optional Slick Boot func
-
tions. The switch is marked for each. Turn
the switch toward the Shower marking to
turn ON the shower. Return to center for OFF. Turn to the other
direction to turn ON the Slick Boot. Return to center for OFF. These
instructions work whether the boat is equipped with one (1) or both
of the options, but will not be found in boats that are not equipped
with either option.
Sink Switch
(MariStar 280 and X-80)
On the face plate panel adjacent to the sink is a two-
position switch. Turning the switch ON allows water
to run through the faucet into the sink. The water
comes from a freshwater tank that requires manual
rellingwhenthewaterhasrunout.Besuretoturn
OFF the switch after running water, and especially when the freshwa-
ter tank has run dry.
Speedometer
(All Models)
The speedometer indicates the forward
speed of the boat in miles per hour (unless
the boat is equipped with a speedometer that
measures kilometers per hour, which is avail-
able in the optional European package.)
To calibrate the speedometer, you need
an accurately measured course of850feet and a certied stopwatch,
which is accurate to within one-hundredths (.01) of a second. (This can be
donewithGPS,whenequipped.)TocalibratetoA.W.S.A.ofcialtourna-
ment rules:
• Approach the course at 36 miles per hour (MPH) as indicated on
the speedometer. Hold the speed steady and have an observer
check the course time with a stopwatch.
• If the course time is between 15.88 and 16.28 seconds, no adjust-
ments are necessary.
• If the course time is not within that tolerance range, press up or
down on the calibration rocker switch to adjust the speedometer’s
speed interpretation.
Tachometer
(All Models)
On boats not equipped with a multi-func-
tion gauge, a separate tachometer gauge is
found. The tachometer indicates the engine
speed in crankshaft revolutions per minute
(RPM).
Temperature Gauge
(All Models)
The temperature gauge indicates the water
temperature inside the engine’s cooling sys
-
tem as measured in degrees Fahrenheit. The
normal operating temperature will range
from 140 degrees Fahrenheit to 190 degrees
Fahrenheit. Engines with electronic fuel injec
-
tion also have a control circuit inside the engine control module that
will cause the engine to run at reduced speeds if the module senses
that the engine is running too hot. If you notice that your speed has
reduced during normal operation, but you have not manually slowed
the throttle, monitor your temperature gauge. If the gauge indicates
excessive temperatures during operation, slow down immediately
and turn off the engine. This indicates an engine problem that needs
to be checked by the dealer!
Continuing to operate the boat while the temperature is
above normal operating parameters may cause serious dam-
age to your engine. Damage to your engine resulting from
operating the engine in an overheated condition can be cost-
ly to repair. Such damage is not covered by your warranty!
Tower Lights Switch
(Optional Installation for All Models)
The location of the tower lights switch
(where equipped) varies by model and should
be located by the operator. In some instances,
there may be two (2) switches. In all instances, the lights operate by us
-
ing two-position switches, one position for ON and the other for OFF.
Underwater Lights Switch
(All Models)
This switch is a two-position switch that
activates the courtesy lights within the boat
as well as the underwater lights (where
equipped), simultaneously. Turning the switch
upwards will turn the lights ON, and turning it downwards will turn
the lights OFF.
Also note that the underwater lights should never be op-
erated unless the boat is in the water. Even though these are
L.E.D. lights, they generate some heat and require the cooling
effect of the water to avoid premature burn-out of the bulb.
